Nor does it really prove your point. There is no proof that this will change things. We already have numerous examples of Pelosi and Reid ramrodding legislation and keeping details of impending bills secret to the last minute before voting. That dog won't hunt.

To Do My Part - Read This:

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

We do? Some examples of secrecy, please?

If true, then Congress is still doing what did not happen until wacko extremists started doing some 12 years ago.

Whether these bills finally bring responsibility back to America has yet to be seen. But what we do know is the agenda is not to work for America - not for a wacko extremist agenda that - well George Jr signed more than twice as many secret findings as all other presidents combined. This was called transparency to wacko extremists. We now has the secrecy and extremist perversion that is slowly being eliminated. If Pelosi and Reid are ramrodding, then wacko extremist Republicans were raping. Finally, even science is being encouraged again. May we never again see another Terry Schiavo incident because wacko extremists had power.

I don't think it would be such a bad thing to require young adults to serve, in some capacity, for a couple of years. It might actually instill some good qualities, instead of laziness and greed.

The federal government is not empowered to compel any service beyond the military.

Does that apply to prisoners who are required to work in near-sweatshop conditions? Seems to me they are being compelled to do so by the government, or in the case of privately run prisons, by the government's proxy.

Mind you, I reckon it probably does 'em some good. Just askin, thats all.

Nope. Those citizens have been convicted in a court of law. Apples and oranges.
