Very good recitiation of leftist viewpoints without any rhyme or reason. Enjoy your slavery it's obviously a personal choice.

Should it be an opt in and coupled with that all important items based on the same age. Voting, full adulthood, citizen ship option and opt out/ draft registration.

I'm about to start the crocodile tears.You have no idea who or what I am. Enough of this.

You did it to yourself. No one else's fault. You wanted to play for free and one day the bill came due. "The price yiou pay for playing stupid." Follows the plaintice pitable cry "But How Could The Government let this happen?" Dumb Ass. The government MADE it happen and you got suckered. The fun part is if it happens to be the draft as one example. No one wants you. I'm not even sure Canada wants you. For sure the military doesn't want you. You don't like the rules of the playground the answer is simple. Don't Play. Which brings us back in circular progrtessive liberal argument format to ...WHY did you not take any of the outs offered when you had the chance?

Because it is the basic truth when you deal in reality instead of fairy tales. That's the basics of objectivism not sucking up the benefits and hoping you weren't one day going to get caught.

So let's say you complied with that laundry list but one day wanted to do something such as travel. Right about that time the draft was put back into effect. OR your parents went broke and you looked in vain for real scholarships and went aftere a student loan. Now tell me about your moral values. You did it to yourself by playing stupid and saying it will never happen to me. So now we've disposed of your moral values let's get back to reality. No you may not have a student loan nor a government job you failed to comply at age 18 with the Universal Military Conscription Act and guess what ....we're enforcing those provisions. You have the right to remain silent.....

The moral or ethical check comes after Law Two of Objecftivism. When the facts are ascertained, tested, checked and determined to be useful or not useful what's called the ground truth.

THEN comes your values or lack thereof. The Premise that's false is you didn't study objectivism nor moral philosophy. You may not enter into a commercial contract prior to age 18, The government did it for you at birth. And you agreed at any of those points I mentioned along the way.

Unless you have a Daddy or a Rabbi in the system....That out is always available for the right sort. Members of the ruling class fo rexample.

Get up to ten or twenty and pretty soon your talking real money.

One of the best articles written on the subject ouside of Hillsdale and despite dballing attempted neutering smashes his thinking into subjective oblivion my apologies to dhalling who must be someone entirely different given the non answer to the hurricane test.

ANYTHING? How about it 's the the number one reason for the federal government to exist and the only substantive job it's given. National Defense. It's laid out in excruciating detail.

Your chances to act otherwise came at a. before age 18. After 18 and before being drafted. When asked to register to vote. In carrying out the act of voting. When told to pay federal taxes and in the act of paying federal taxes. in any and all observance and compliance of any federal law, custom, or regulation or use of any of the federal government support systems auch as student loans, In using the federal courrts and in all courts the civil rights provided by the the Constitution in school, as an employer or business owner, in travel using a US Passport.

At each of those steps you gave consent and only two of them sere involuntary. Income Tax and the Universal Military Conscription Act or draft. Even then you could have registered as a conscientous objector.

At any point prior to being drafted you could have objected with your feet and left the country and applied for citizenship in a place more to your choosing. Had the receiving country agreed to accept you in it's program for citizenship all would be fine and honorable providing the IRS approved. No one else much cared unless you were a litsted felon and even one that did not pay something as simple as child support would set off trip wires at the federal or state levels. Assuming you were from Oregon anyway.

The taxes were based on what you lived on, who provided it, did it count as taxable income which is due and payable no matter where in the world you lived or how earned. Another trap. but for you legal.

Country Two allows citizen you are not longer the problem of the USA except if yiou owe back taxes from before the granmt of citizenship.

Parrents could have explained all this and so could your teachers if they gave a shit. But probably not.

Any red flags would arise when asking for a VISA to visit the USA.

All of this best down prior to age 18. Refusal to sign up for the draft is a jailable, finable felonly offense under federal law. Look it up yourself. It's openly posted.

How closely enforced? Depends on how hard up the slavemasters are in manning their protective echelon and their property part of which ....is ......you.

If you don't like it . Tough. No one cares.

:Least of all the left wing that are the sole supporter of the military draft laws left in the country. They want their cannon fodder ready when needed. To the military you are just a big waste of time and good air and food.

That leaves the possibility, in future, of joining the Protective Echelon. the Directorate of Internal State Security and becoming one of the Fascists you sought to escape.
