“A New Breed of Citizens,” Indeed

In an op-ed, posted at Yahoo News, which was written by Dr. William A. Babcock, who is the senior ethics professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Babcock advocates for the formation of a mandatory Youth Corps.

Babcocks’ op-ed, written for the Christian Science Monitor, is titled Obama can instill civic responsibility – through a mandatory Youth Corps, and is ostensibly written as a “responsibilty seed” for Barack Obama, and responsible, freedom loving individuals everywhere should do their utmost to crush this seed before it even gets in the ground.

It appalls me that a “senior professor of ethics” is openly advocating for mandatory service, with the force of the State as the only power behind the command.  How is that ethical?

I don’t think we need a new breed of citizens.  In fact, I think the new breed of citizens wished for by Babcock, Obama and others is already flourishing, unfortunately, and the old breed of Americans; responsible, freedom loving, individualistic, can-do attitude individuals; need to assert themselves and overcome this plague of socialist ideas and individuals infecting the United States of America.
