i feel like watching V for vendetta...

i was just reading through the america serves section on change.gov.

"Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."


where did he ever mention that in his campaign? i thought everyone was getting tax breaks for nothing. there was no community service requirement ever mentioned. he lied to everyone.




i don't like the talk that obama and rahm emmanuel did of this kind of civilian defense program, though. it resembles the domestic draft and i'm not happy about being stuck in the 18-25 age range that could be called to serve under a mandatory basis. i have no problem with people wanting to volunteer or with volunteer services (like the peace corps), but making it mandatory to get these tax breaks or to simply feel like you're doing your civil duty? sends chills up my spine.

call me whatever you want and slam me yet again, but if that doesn't resemble communism... holy shit.







now why do i feel like watching V for vendetta? this is the kind of shit they touched on in the movie and i think the US will look like that soon... we just had to elect this man.
