forced service isn’t service, it’s servitude (a condition in which one lacks liberty especially to determine one’s course of action or way of life) — tyranny

I'm with you. I was just thinking the same thing after reading the story. This isn't community service...its community servitude. Its similar to Obama’s desire to take more tax dollars from the supposed rich rather than encouraging people to voluntarily help their fellow man...he'd rather take your $$ and your volunteerism by force rather than giving you the choice and freedom in the matter. And to think the left was complaining about the loss of our liberties under Bush (and he's only just begun).

It’s slavery, pure and simple. Forced labor, sanctioned by the state, with no compensation. How ironic is it that the first black POTUS would inflict slavery upon the nation?
