Mark, and all, You're worried about something minor compared to producing what, in worst case, could be American Brownshirts.
See: http://www.reason.com/blog/show/129949.html Before I go further, no I have not reviewed other content on that site, so I don't endorse anything besides what the facts show. Those facts, shown in the above link, can be easily found. I find it fascinating that it is the so-called Liberals who are behind this sort of unconstitutional garbage, when they are the ones who scream about America oppressing its people. Aren't you Liberals supposed to be the ones fighting for individual rights and freedoms? Or is that only if you're a special case? Read: minority, either sexually or ethnically. As the late John Schnurer would say.... HMMMMMMMM??????? 18 to 25, required to serve. What is this 3 months of service? Yank you away from your family for three months, indoctrinate you? Or is it more benign...just go there for a few hours a week, learn some things, a new civil defense? If you take them OUT of the workforce for three solid months, you will rape our economy even worse. Who is going to pay for this? Oh yes, this applies to women as well. Women's rights has really progressed...they can be effective slaves (heh...slavery reinstituted by a Black president!), but they are STILL TREATED AS SECOND CLASS CITIZENS. If you don't think women are, please remove your head from your rectum, and allow the CH4 to get out of your system so you can think clearly, and we will then converse. Kay? If you are a true Liberal Democrat, and truly believe in all this feel-goodness and oneness and happiness, then you had better do what you preach, and oppose any of this before it is too damn late. Most likely, this will turn out to be nothing. I expect the ACLU and all the other alphabet soup boys will never let this happen. But there is a need, I feel, to send a very clear message to any even POTENTIAL threats to our individual rights and liberties: do what WE THE PEOPLE say, and leave our rights alone, or we will forcibly remove your ass from office. You too can go from being President/Senator/Chief of Staff/Governor/whatever to flippin' burgers and McD's faster than a speeding photon. I fully support a VOLUNTARY programme of service. Help out, get involved, etc. In other words...things I and my wife already do. Nevertheless, you will get far more our of us by asking, than you will by demanding. Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country. He never said, "and your country will fucking TELL you what to do. So don't even ask, you'll get instructed." I will close with this, and I fully expect to be beaten by the bleeding-hearts who would have chomped this like a milkbone dog biscuit if it'd come from the political right... I am 25. I fall within this, but it wouldn't happen. I will be 26 at the end of March. In two months, they won't be able to turn the political supertanker fast enough to get me. But my wife is 24. If anyone thinks they can have her, and indoctrinate her for three months, I have a very rude awakening for you. Touch me, I'll tell you where to go, and laugh. Touch my wife, and you will die. Natalia belongs to herself, and not the state. Not Barack Obama, not Rahm Emmanuel, not G. W. B., not anyone. She is who she is, and I thought you Liberals were all about that sort of thing. Worst comes to worse, Canada is a fifteen minute drive from here. Question to our resident Canadians...how's the weather? Any better than Buffalo NY? "Lake effect" is no fun! --Kyle
