What have I done to ensure that my children can have the same advantages that I have enjoyed? Not much? Now that I am probably past it, I wish I had done more.

Who was it that said something like "Those who aren't preparded to fight for peace and freedom will neither deserve nor will they get either."
look im not saying it would be bad for people to CHOOSE to volunteer, and maybe you need some more organized uncorruptible local organization as an outlet for people who choose to to such work to go to...

btw your quote is irrelevant since if your govt imposes mandatory service unto you, then you are not free.....

but the SECOND you make it mandatory or compulsory you are infringing on the rights of others....and what about people who refuse...do you throw them in jail (kidnap, hold them against their will, in mediocre to poor conditions at the expense of the state) do you fine them (steal)??

MAYBE if you think such mandatory service is a good thing maybe you should BE the change that you want to see....why dont you start doing so if you havent already....


by the way, a program like this would only take away paying job....but thats the idea...the state not only wants us to pay a large % of our income to them, but they also want us to work for them as well (Rahm Emanuel and Obama both want mandatory service)
