Great test idea. The only thing that I would add is proof that you paid taxes.
Cronkite has always said that people should not rely solely on TV news but shoulod also read a newspaper. However, I advocate that interviewers use a senility test. Before they proceed, they should ask these old farts if they can remember what they had for breakfast. If not, move on, and don't bother me.
I would prefer that "voters" satisfied a few more requirements:
VOTERS should:
- be legal CITIZENS.
- be a net PAYER of taxes, not net consumer of taxes.
- be able to speak ENGLISH and vote on an ENGLISH ballot.
- NOT be "civil servants" at ANY level of Government.
(Military excluded, of course - and retain the vote)
- NOT reside on an Indian Reservation....
- NOT reside in a prison.
- NOT reside in a mental health facility.
- NOT reside in a Drug Rehabilatation facility.
- NOT reside in "Public Housing".
- Never have marched with a black hood over their head.
- Never have committed a sexual crime against children or animals.
- Never have admired Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro, Joe Stalin or Mohammad.
- Open for modification as the mood strikes me!
If implemented - the above would exclude from the vote, approximatly 80% of the Democrat base.

I've always considered Cronkite as a lying, socialist, dangerous sonuvabitch who did more harm to America and Freedom loving South Vietnamese than 10 Divisions of Communists in Vietnam...
I REALLY resent the sonuvabitch survived, and continues to spew his bullshit and lives well...
The sorry bastard should have been fed to the worms a LONG time ago....
