The most dangerous threat our country faces isn't terrorism,  WMDs or drugs, it's stupid people. They are living in our midst, doing everything possible to make our nation the worst it can be and to destroy our planet with short-sighted. <p>To address this threat, I would like to make a  modest(ly elitist) proposal. In the voting booth, each voter will now be required to answer 5 basic general knowledge questions before casting their ballot. Each vote will be weighted by the number of correct answers. Obviously you don't tell the nation's myriad self-assumed geniuses how many they got right so everyone can assume their vote fully counted. That way the 18% of Americans who think the sun revolves around the earth no longer have any say in the direction of our country.
<p>The founder intended for this country to be elitist, so they made up the electoral college. It's time to update our modern election system to honor our founders intentions by instituting an "elementary-school" college.
