Service

I listen to Open Source w/Christopher Lydon all the time. But today was the 1st day I have felt very strongly about the subject.
It is about Community and National Service, a way for the country to utilize civilians for community service and national service . An alternative to the military per say.
I feel this works everyday in the form of Americorps programs, while some argue that it is a waste of government funding I see it as shaping up our country, using the energetic-ness of the youth of the US and serving our own people.

Here is the link to the subject at hand and the comments. I have posted quite a few today so please feel free to read or at least skim and find “mscrystallee”.
