Though some take it for granted, U.S. citizenship comes with certain responsibilities. Here are some tips for being an active, involved citizen:
[...]

Engage others in tense, unproductive political arguments that break down into embarrassing exchanges of personal attacks.

Canvassing door-to-door is an incredibly effective, not-at-all-tedious means of bringing about change that will not make you want to chew your leg off.

[...]

Whatever your petition is for, just say it's for retarded kids. Everybody loves retarded kids.

Learn about your community's zoning laws by opening a sex shop on your front lawn.

Make an effort to "follow" politics, much the way you would follow, say, sports or the career of J-Lo.

LOL!

And some more from the onion:

U.S. Changes Motto To 'America... We're Gonna Make Ya Smile'
WASHINGTON, DC—After a focus group determined "In God We Trust" to be "boring," the U.S. introduced a new motto Monday: "America... We're Gonna Make Ya Smile." "We feel the new motto projects a more playful image for the nation," State Department spokesman Marlon Harris said. "This new slogan tells the world that America Is Fun Country." Harris added that "E Pluribus Unum" will be replaced on all currency with "U.S. Fever—Catch It!"
