>I agree with Tracy. Freedom is earned. With some exemptions, of course, 18 years old should have to perform 2 years of military or community or global duty.

So the land of the free isn't for everyone? So whats the next requirement to earn freedom? No criminal record? Not being an immigrant? Must earn a living?

BTW, we went te opposite way.. obligatory military service has been outphased about 15 years ago.
