9. Geeze- half the problem we have is so many people don't understand the basics of how this works

We really need a coordinated education campaign on how the very basics of our government works. I expect idiot conservatives to not know, but not people on our side.

Unfortunately so many people don’t, and effort gets wasted on proposals and ideas that are just fantasy- “Do something to stop it!” demands with no idea how to do what they demand or if it’s possible.

Imagine how much more productive we could be if time and effort was not wasted on demand or ideas that just can’t be done because people don’t know the very basics about how things work.
