Your item 3 - going after the poor - was my first, "Oh crap!" moment... the Hive Is Good.<br /><br />I had not heard of your last point - the Civic Health thing. So, if your city or neighborhood doesn't volunteer enough, it's "No soup for you!"<br /><br />Has anyone managed to point out the article or amendment of the Constitution that allows this?

And what it means to parochial and home schooled kids.<br /><br />The Dept of Ed thing is - kid may need to come from a "civic health"y school to get into college.<br /><br />That, or kids have to be civicly healthy to stay out of involuntary military service. Or maybe to get in - the uniformed services have always provided a means for young people to move between economic classes.<br /><br />And wasn't there an oath of allegiance to the President, or the program as expressed and directed by the President in there? The allegiance thing bothers me - the Constitution should be the only thing we acknowledge as fundamentally American. <br /><br />And what about the armed security force Obama wants, co-located on military bases in six districts? Wasn't that supposed to tie in with this GIVE nonsense?<br /><br />I thought it was Hitler that said, give me your children and I will take your country.<br /><br />Imposing service - drafting kids - on families is an indirect tax on Americans. It takes time, transportation expense, and often costs time away from jobs for parents to support nonsense like this.<br /><br />Will this community service thing supplant or change current volunteer programs at hospitals and such? Or is this a subtle way for Barack Hussein Obama to conscript an army of intelligence gatherers, to ferret out the secret lives of non-Democratic Party people? <br /><br />Pardon me if I think of this fiasco as Acorn 2.0.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789551681702149486.post-50672538902686229552009-04-21T14:55:00.000-05:002009-04-21T14:55:00.000-05:00Another thing that puzzles me.
