Was Bush noch so alles einfällt: 4000 (!!!) Stunden Gemeinwohlarbeit für JEDEN..

The Citizen Services Act:
On April 9, President Bush went to Bridgeport, Connecticut to announce the particulars of a bill he will
send to Congress to follow up on his State of The Union address which called upon all Americans to give
4000 hours or two years of their lives to “Community Service”. The whole political tabernacle will be
run by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
With this, the Constitutional prohibition against involuntary servitude is flanked. Supported by another
tidal wave of taxpayers’ money out of Washington, the servitude is “voluntary”. At least, it is supposed
to be “voluntary”. But as college students (and others) are now beginning to find out in an increasing
number of cases, if they do not volunteer, they either cannot get the final credits to graduate at all (these
credit issue from Community Service) or getting their degree becomes much harder without the credits
from Community Service.
Four thousand hours - two years of a human being’s life - in “voluntary” servitude. Jefferson, Adams,
Paine, and many others would be reaching for the musket over the mantelpiece.
Apparently, colleges and other places of learning are loving this. They get a sum of money from
Washington, after which they can throw the students out the door. And after that, the students spend their
time sweeping leaves off the streets, cleaning gutters, reading stories to people in old peoples’ homes, or
walking the dogs of the handicapped. Finally, they graduate - having learned - what?
They have learned, over 4000 hours, that they are NOT the owners of their own individual lives. They
have learned that the “Community” is, and that they have to render it services without pay whether they
want to or not.
This, even in the land of the once free, is morally OBSCENE.
