First of all, any type of "forced" healthcare by the Government (which I'm against) should be for catastrophic hospitalization, and NOT for routine doctor's visits. I can see insurance for hospitalization but people should be able to pay for routine doctor's visits. What ever happened to individual responsibility?As far as the ADA and smoking regulations, water always seeks it's level. In other words there will always be businesses that will cover what others don't, just like price wars. This is America, not Europe. |

You said that conscription was called for in the constitution. I say it is not specifically mentioned.ahhh....your old SDS self comes out. The power to involuntarily draft Americans into military service is found in Congress's powers under Section 8, 12-16 12: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; 13: To provide and maintain a Navy; 14: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces; 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; According to your logic, the US Air Force is unconstitutional because that text does not mention it. |

The exercise of certain rights, like that of a fair jury trial by one's peers, can only become reality through certain coercive and enforced duties like being forced to serve on a jury.Just like a professional or semi-professional juror force would not work, in times of incredible peril to our liberty and independence, a limited military force composed solely of professionals and other volunteers would also not work. |

Military service requires a much greater commitment than jury service. Jury service is of usually short duration and rarely places one in peril of life or limb.As I've said before, if a government is unable to convince enough of its own citizens of its righteousness that they would rather sit idly and allow its destruction, then such government ought to be destroyed. |

As I've said before, if a government is unable to convince enough of its own citizens of its righteousness that they would rather sit idly and allow its destruction, then such government ought to be destroyed.I would agree but the laws of our land don't have an auto-destruction clause of that sort. They are instead set up to preserve the nation at all costs, including the possibility of involuntary conscription. |
