Sounds like slave labor. How ironic, unless minimum wage is $30/hr.

If you're into end of the world religious type stuff. Your comments just reminded me how alot of people in the book blindly and fully followed a false leader, and when the apocolypse came, they were left behind to suffer.

Not to get all deep or anything 😛

"Here's what such a seed might resemble: Every young American citizen, once he or she graduated from high school, would have the responsibility to complete two years of public service. National need would define the nature of such service"

Hmmm, national need,makes me wonder, the wars perhaps?

In some sense this would have beena good idea in my opinion, but with the current administration I beleive it would be very scary.

Awesome books. The series is out on DVD and it is good as well. Watching them and fitting it in with the world today will scare the bejesus out of you though.
