Now that's just insane. You'd bankrupt the country and set up a very nice system for future brainwashing attempts.

But going back to what I said earlier, it's not just about intelligence. You need to be intelligent enough to understand the issues, yes, but you don't want to have to check the internet for corporate abuse every time you buy a coffee maker or a new brand of vegetables. (And who's going to enforce trademark law anyway?)

Today people don't even take the time to research complex products, such as computers, and that's something we might be able to work on in the education system.
