Coercing children

Posted on November 9, 2008 | Comments Off on Coercing children

Barry’s apparent aim to force middle and high school students to do federally-supervised community service is still in the planning stages. The details continue to be left purposely vague, even to the extent of more of his campaign’s airbrushing of previous Web disclosures. I suppose it will be some form of selective service, minus the selective part. Unless some animals on the farm are to be more equal than others, as the old military draft worked it. Sounds so progressive, why, how could anyone complain? Only, you know, the lazy and the anti-social. Will the children get nice armbands, too?

    Yep. It’s the basic difference between liberals and conservatives: the collective versus the individual.

    One more time it is obvious how misleading the labels are; individual is the foundation of liberal ideology. Which it became necessary now to clarify with “classical”.

    The labels are misleading, but the behavior is not. One seeks to make government for the benefit of the collective, the other tries to limit government so as not to suppress the individual.
