Lots of people are answering as if it’s “what things should you know” (the amendments to the Constitution) or “what things should you do” (vote).

“You’ve used the wrong form of the word “borders.” I’m afraid Kimmer might have issues with this…”

I plead guilty to poor spelling late at night, Rob. If James Joyce can have horrible spelling in his first drafts, so can I (I can also)

Provide for your family

Take care of your aging parents

Don’t forget about head butts!

Everything else…meh.

Soccer rules are not important for fans to understand. Soccer fans only need to know how to start a riot when there is a bad call by the officials, a loss to a rival, or an offensive gesture made by an opponent.

Many of the things on this list would also apply to a list of things every soccer fan should know: start a fire, sharpen a knife, fight like a buzzsaw, wield a knife/ax/saw, and take responsibility for one’s actions.

Tongue in cheek.

Know how to destroy a flag correctly and respectfully.
Know when and how to fly the flag.
Know how to salute when you see it.
Know the words not only to the National Anthem, but to “America the Beautiful” as well, and where the tune came from. (Yep, I’m an old Boy Scout, too.)

Now the teacher in me shows:
Know what separation of church and state really means.
Know how to write your name (in CURSIVE).
Be able to read an analog clock.
Be able to save your Word document to a USB flashdrive.
Know that your teacher’s name is not “teacher.”

Shoot a rifle.

Fight like a buzzsaw.

(And remember, it is often not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.)

And also… It’s not the size of the army, but the fury of its onslaught!

You’ve used the wrong form of the word “borders.” I’m afraid Kimmer might have issues with this…

Let’s modify the question, and Heinlien would approve, as he was a staunch conservative:

What should a President be able to do?

A President should be able to recognize his own boarders, know a broken law when he sees one, stay faithful to his wife and if he can’t then not slander his younger lover, understand the difference between a religion of peace and one of barbaric, murderous cruelty, kiss a baby, shake a man’s hand and mean it, strike the perfect balance between doing what he knows is right and doing what the people insist he must do if they are not the same thing, debate effectively, lead without dictating, defend his people and their friends, love children, preserve the natural abundance, never be intimidated by hostile journalists, know his county’s enemies instinctively no matter how friendly or charming they may be toward him, maintain the dignity of the office for life and keep his Goddamn mouth shut after it’s no longer his turn to be President.

Hold the door open for the person behind them.

Shake someones hand without:
A. Being a total sissy
B. Crushing all of the bones in their entire arm.

Admit when they do not know the answer and be willing to find the answer or at least ask for help when needed.
