re: #59 Decatur Deb

The core of this idea is an expansion of the NCCC, an Americorps
element that tracks back to the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps
run by the Army Corps of Engineers. I worked with an NCCC team for
a year on Habitat houses. They were spectacular (non-useless) kids.

I have no problem with this type of program, as long as it was strictly “volunteer”. Making it mandatory smacks of other progressive-type programs that values the government’s free agency over your own.
