    When I first saw the thread's title I thought it said "Fueling Race Car." Make of that what you want to as I leave the thread.

      They tried that. Called them "literacy tests" and the like. Didn't work out too well. Depending who you are, just how accurately you answered made a difference.

      In 9th grade our Civics teacher gave us an example of the sort of question that was asked: What is the term for a Supreme Court Justice?

      If you said "life" and were someone deemed okay, that's correct. But not if you're the wrong sort of person.

      The answer I gave was "life with good behavior."

      The teacher said I was the only student that ever got it "right." Since a SCOTUS can be impeached for their conduct, saying "life" was considered insufficient for a lot of people -- most of them black -- and they were denied the right to vote.

      To be fair, the only reason I probably got it was because it was obviously a trick question.

      I'm always still in trouble again

        I was wondering what you were doing in here.
