Yep.
I dunno how much difference it would make, but it seems a decent start. Tragic seeing how many people (and I'm not talking about this place) can't put a justified argument together and also have such little interest in the news/politics. It's not like it impacts on, y'know, everything you do in your life or anything.
They may think "f*** this", in which case there's not a lot you can do. But this sort of stuff should be pushed a lot more pertinently than it is currently.
