Nah. The extent of most high school/college students' knowledge of politics is: "GWB is evil, for some reason."

I'll never forget a few years back, my girlfriend at the time and I were taking a college course on philosophy, and it got into politics a little. One time after class, she asked me to explain more about the difference between capitalism and socialism. I obliged, started trying to explain the basics, and she interrupted to say "Wait. I thought socialism is better because it's, like, good to be social."

She was actually one of the brighter girls I've known, too.
