"And most importantly, that you have rights, duties, and responsibilities to hold those in power accountable to those who put them there--the voters, not the donors," Steve said vehemently.
Tony nodded in firm agreement. "They win when you remain apathetic to the process."

"They wouldn't work so hard to keep you from voting if it wasn't so very important that you did so," Steve said. "So today's exam is for your grade, but what we really want you to take away from this class is a lifelong engagement with the government. Because when no one's watching them, they do stupid, ugly, tragically misguided things."
