All I hear, see, or read are people bashing each other because one person is a Democrat or a Republican. Do we not see how divided this two party system has made us? We need to rid ourselves of this "you are wrong and dumb because you support the ___ party (dem/repub)." Instead we need to realize that the only way to move forward is to work together. Yes there will always be differing opinions, but that is fine as long as we are arguing over a certain opinion and not generalizing. There are more than 2 parties out there with lots of amazing views, but because of this monopoly that these two parties have over our media, they go unheard. America as a whole, I challenge you to research, become educated and knowledgeable with politics, and realize that this is not that path we should be on.

Now please understand that it might come across harsh, and well it obviously would not pass because of how people are now. But be reasonable and read through to understand where I am coming from and why I believe something like this needs to happen before we doom ourselves.

Unfortunately, it seems as if the only thing we hear anymore is about how much our economy is heading down the toilet, and time after time we blame it on the politicians. But, we cannot blame politicians first and foremost, because it is us the citizens that vote them in. We need to first understand ourselves and why we vote for these people who constantly promise us that they have what it takes to fix this mess.

What I have come to realize, is that ALOT people that vote, but not all, are completely ignorant. They vote along party lines. They listen to what the media tells them without delving into the issues to understand them. They pick their candidate and politicians from one issue that they agree with. They look to the short term and how they can be benefited now rather than see how their actions will affect themselves and their county 5-20 years from now. People are sheep, and rather think for themselves would rather be told what to think or follow the masses, and the politicians know this and use it to their benefit.

In order for improvements to be made, we cannot have "sheeple," as I would call them, voting for our future. My proposal, although not perfect, is a way to fix this. I feel that, just like the immigrants who wish to become citizens of this country have to pass a citizenship test, people who wish to vote upon this great country's future should have to pass a test first.

This test would be free to take, anyone that was a citizen legally would have the ability to take it, and you would have an unlimited amount of attempts to try and pass. The test would cover content about the political processes as well as important issues facing the politicians to be elected. Of course this must be a totally unbiased test to make sure it does not sway opinions one way or another, but to just make sure that the people voting are not sheep.

Please understand that this is just a proposal, a mere idea, and is in no means polished. Before anything like this would be able to be implemented many things would have to be discussed and figured out first such as the exact content, where to take them at, etc.

It is just in my opinion, that in order for a better economy, for better politicians, and a better world, it is US the CITIZENS whom must change first. And with a test or something along these lines, I feel that it would help prove that we know what we are doing when it comes to voting before we vote in our future.

Opinions?...

Ok so my friend has a ronom unicorn out and i have a seal of fire out. If my friend sacrifices the unicorn to kill an enchantment, can I sacrifice the seal of fire to kill it on stack so it wouldn't be able to sacrifice?

In MtG, do I have a Combat phase if I don't have any creatures on the battlefield? The card this has to deal with is Spinal Embrace.

Any opinions on the matter?

Ok i've been watching their news clips on the T.V. and online and in my opinion it seems that they seem to try their best to make the health care plan sound good and put down everyone against it. Aren't news stations meant to report the news as it is with no bias one way or another? This is just my opinion and I would like to hear yours!
