And it's already passed the House. I wish Nov. 2, 2010 would hurry up and get here.Last edited by honedright; 03-27-2009 at 12:23 AM.

That kind of defeats the purpose of the word "volunteer". It's just compulsory work teams for kids- who gets to decide where these work teams go? On the other hand, what happens when a kid doesn't show up for "work"?

The times they are a changin'. Its turning into a Brave New World out there aint it! Wait until you find out about Obamas domestic Army. Do a search for the campaign speech he gave in Colorado over the 4th of July.

Compulsary volenteerism is great and it will only cast 6 Billion dollars between 2010 and 2014... cheap!
i'm oddly reminded of the shawshank redemption... where the warden takes a payoff to not bid on a contract... all the "volunteers" could be taking paying jobs away from others.
key things (all numbers for 2010-2014)
$600,000,000 to administer the program
$150,000,000 for training and technical assistance
$200,000,000 for "various" demonstration programs
so getting and keeping the program running will be 1/6 of the bill.
so when do the kids start getting asked to spy on their family and neighbors?Be just and fear not.

OK, I took a deep breath....
I'm hoping my post was just a knee jerk reaction. The measure passed the House 321-105. There MUST be something I don't know (since I admittedly haven't read the bill, yet Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress)).
I'm hoping I over reacted.Last edited by honedright; 03-27-2009 at 01:34 AM.
