What I DO know is that he has the mindset of a busybody, overly concerned with how others spend their time and money.

Pot --- meet kettle.

What a novel way to sidestep the real issue: is freedom "free"? Given a choice, would the weak of mind and spirit sidestep any obligation in that regard?

Let me think...

The poster I was responding to wasn't advocating a draft to defend our country against an external threat to freedom, but rather to force certain kids into doing something else with their time (he didn't approve of their x-boxes or whatever). In other words, he wanted a draft to abrogate their freedom to spend free time in ways that he finds "frivolous".
