No Thank You Rangel, No Thank You McCain

Ilya Somin has a good post about the constant scary drumbeat for forced labor, I mean national service. Such calls come from both Democrats and Republicans.

...there is little chance that Congress will enact a forced labor program in the near future. In the long-term, however, I fear that constant advocacy of the idea will erode our moral resistance to it, and that some crisis may occur that will enable the proposal to go through.

To claim the right to force the young
To work for the state is horribly wrong.
