Although I tend to think that voting (lack thereof) is the biggest sign of apathy today, and suffers from too many excuse-makers and (as you point out) media escapists. So I think the first step is to find a way to get people to view voting as a necessary part of their lives; The point should be to *not* give the establishment any excuse that people don't care about government... and that you're not forced to agree with what you're given on the ballot; write-in a protest vote if the disconnect is that big.

OTOH, this religious idea is risible.
