I also agree that our education system is deeply flawed. While there are instances of progress overall the bureaucracy and educational administration along with dysfunctional families are “killing” us.

Your points are very well written and I thank you for sharing them.

Those trends not only need to slowed but they need to be reversed.

Thus, I appreciate your thoughts and ideas and I share them. I am merely at the point where I think we need to effect those changes and more simply because I think the problems are so bad.

Thanks.

I can appreciate that many may not like the concept of a mandatory civil service.

In the spirit of continuing the conversation, perhaps you can share with me and the community what your best ideas are to address the topics (savings, debt, dropout rate, etc…) highlighted.

For those who have not signed the RallyCongress Petition Regarding Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate,

For those who have not signed the RallyCongress Petition Regarding Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate, I encourage you to do so. As of right now, 95,332 Petitions have been signed. I personally would like to see at 100,000 to be signed and delivered by December 1, 2008. Before the Electorial College meet.

Below is a Copy Only of the Petition. To sign it and have a copy go to Your State Representatives please follow this link:

Sign the Petition : 95,332 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution reads: “No Person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”

There are numerous questions as to Obama’s citizen status raising suspicion and doubt about Obama constitutional qualification to be president. To settle these questions Mr. Obama must produce proof of citizenship!

Documents that must be produced include;
(a) a certified copy of “vault” (original long version) birth certificate;
(b) certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham;
(c) a certified copy Certification of Citizenship;
(d) a certified copy Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity;
(e) certified copies of admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School; and
(f) certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing his name from Barry Soetoro.

It is reasonable that these documents should be produced considering that his father is Kenyan, his adoptive father is Indonesian, and his grandmother claims to have been present at his birth in Kenya. If he is a natural born citizen then producing these documents should not be any problem.

These allegations will not go away until Mr. Obama produces proof to federal authorities and the public. If he will not do so voluntarily he must be compelled by every means available. You, as an employee of The People, have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

We The People are demanding you to make every effort, both public and private, to resolve this fundamental Constitutional question before 20 January.

There are such a broad range of opportunities to serve, only those that feel they are too good don’t want too. It’s also a great way for young people to build a resume. Really is doing environmental work, like beach clean-up going to kill you? Apparently many feel they would experience an emotional death, oh the angst of it all.”

I guess you forgot about this part of your comment, Waldenpond.

The part where you implied that not wanting to do mandatory community service is because its icky or beneath you. That is the part I responded to. Where do you come out of left field with this kind of comment? Is that why you think we don’t want to be told how to spend 1-2 years of our lives? If it was with a better class of people we would sign up? Emotional death???

Get a life. The problem is that people that already have a life and have plans are not just sitting around waiting to be given something to do that won’t “kill us”. We are not game markers sitting around waiting to be placed where the great ones think we should be placed to learn what they think we should learn. This is America and we hold freedom to be self evident:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

As was said previously you can pry these freedoms from my cold dead hands. If your comment was not because of wrongs done to you than I have even less respect for you since you so disparage your fellow men without cause. Who are you to pass judgment on why people don’t want to be forced to give a year or two of their lives?

We have volunteered, consistently, without a quibble, throughout our lives. We’re giving, not taking. A government program (supposed mouse designed by a committee; result: an obese, non-functional elephant) of compulsory service would have gotten less out of all of us, would no doubt have wasted much of our efforts, and would have taken a 50% “administration fee” right off the top of the tax dollars devoted to the program. Plus, the only compulsory service that is Constitutional, IMHO, is a military draft in time of war, and then only when absolutely necessary.

As the Jefferson administration said to the Barbary pirates, “Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute!”
