20. Commercials!

A national civics lesson is exactly what this country needs, although it may have to be dumbed down to the point of "Schoolhouse Rocks" for the people who need it to understand. Frankly, I would like to see a whole civics/government curriculum developed using the old Schoolhouse Rock vignettes and have them played at a certain time on all channels... free and pay... so that no one has the excuse of "missing them." The rest of us will no doubt learn a few things we didn't know along the way, and it would be more entertaining that what we have on TV at any given moment. Or, hell... just put them on as Ads... they'd be at least as entertaining as the golden retriever/car commercials! And they could play over and over and over again... just like the ads for all the ED products!
