[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 415707, member: 2189"] Consider Hegel's quote again: Now, in that context keeping the above thought in mind, read over this [URL="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/service/#enable-americans"][COLOR=red][B]http://www.barackobama.com/issues/service/#enable-americans[/B][/COLOR][/URL] now it all sounds good and wonderful but in the end it's about the glorification of the State itself and the lessening importance of the freedom of the individual. Also these so-called plans of national service may sound good but once a large % of the population is roped in, how long before it becomes mandatory? And we might also consider these terms when we consider the above plan. Unpaid Servitude! Involutary Servitude! Hey, let's just call it what it is, State sanctioned Slavery! Want your social security? Better volunteer to qualify. Want admission to a public school? Better voluteer to qualify. Want a high school diploma? Better voluteer to qualify. Want admission in a state university? Better volunteer to qualify. Could they even go so far as to make volunteering a must to get or keep a job? [/QUOTE]
