I think people who are not me should have to learn about civic responsibility and loyalty to their community. They should have to do this through enforced servitude.

Of course this wouldn't apply to me, because (1) I am the one proposing it, and (2) I already know all this stuff.












In case I need to

:sarcasm:

7. Pretty good
I'm 22, and let me tell, there is NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL I'm ever doing military or any other type of service that I don't want, and fuck any fascist who wants to force me to.

Of course I'm not worried about it happening, but I am worried about Rangel fucking things by making people think it can.

9. there's a simple solution, really
simply abolish federal loans and aid for undergraduates. Anyone who completes a two year service gets a public university education, four years, for free.
