I like requiring everyone to do it. I'm for it.

How about requiring service for able bodied seniors in order to qualify for Social Security and Medicare? I don't get your comparison. You seem to want to be even handed. Since no one is asking community service of the kids as compensation for some benefit, why would you do that with seniors?

"How about requiring service for able bodied seniors in order to qualify for Social Security and Medicare?" I did my service...40 years worth. It's called a "job". Mine actually was in the service industry, eg, medicine, but that has nothing to do with it. Now that I am on SS, tho, I'm in favor of a law that makes you kiddies work a 48 hour week for 40 hours of pay and 8 hours going into accounts of hard working seniors. To honor us for our years of service. It's time for me to be the slacker.
