I've heard the idea that one earns a right to vote somehow, by 
demonstrating awareness or whatever. I thought as the internet rose the 
level of "informed" people would grow, but it seems to have gone the 
other way if anything. Canada and New Zealand appear to have some pretty 
good politics IMO.

I think the bigger problem is the return of "retro"... I don't need to 
see the 80's again ;>
