John Edwards Espouses Mandatory Government Service

Not a military draft, but mandatory service for everyone. I keep flashing back to Starship Troopers (an underrated flick, by the way), "Service guarantees citizenship!".

This is all over the news, so I won't bother providing a link. In general, I think this is an atrocious idea, and one that a wealthy attorney who gets $400.00 haircut shouldn't be proposing with a straight face.

Other than the relatively minor affirmative duties such as filing a tax return, filling out a census, or serving on a jury, the government shouldn't be in the business of compelling you to work for them.
