You know, they should have been teaching interesting stuff like this in US public schools growing up. I would have been way more engaged. This was an intriguing read. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Soap box: free speech, ballot box: right to vote, jury box: right to nullify convictions of unjust laws, and cartridge box: right to fend against corrupt gov't. I think society is close to the cartridge box more often than not.
