@xxthepatientxx: In fairness, no, I haven't. I was looking at the Lifehacker list. I'm glad to see they included it. First aid is a must if we're talking about things everyone should know how to do.

One glaring omission: How to perform CPR!

@tablespork: They are always counted if the 89238247 conditions for counting are met. You are correct they don't always make a difference though.

@gopanthers: Um, perhaps we make it easier so more people will participate? Democracy doesn't have to be hard and it doesn't make people more democratic by waiting for Election Day.
