While I agree with his idea in Starship Troopers that only veterans earn the franchise, can you imagine the howls if anyone ever proposed such a bill?

2nd Div, Cronos:

“What do we do with the unemployed then?” Nothing really. With all their free time, they can spend most of it at the local library where there is unlimited free access to all the world's classic books. We can have a huge permanent, but spectacularly well-read unemployed class! We can have book clubs with regular discussion sessions everywhere.

Others can jog and bike and swim regularly. Triathlons will be available to everyone with their new fitness. Triathlons will even have age divisions so everyone can have a meaningful chance of competing for honors.

The people will be so happy and contented. I so look forward to that day soon.

Loved that book, got a tattered 20yr old copy of it. Also love the concept, but I would include the police and firefighters that also put their lives on the line.

Well, it should be extended to other community activities -- even "community organizer" :)

Seriously. I believe even a paraplegic can contribute to the community -- and many of them are truly gifted intellectually and should be given the opportunity to contribute.
