Subject: Giving is the New Taking
At the website titled New Paradigm Shift, there is a very
pro-service article by Pilar Stella entitled
Giving is the New Taking, which begins with the
following quote by Price Pritchett:
"Change always comes bearing gifts."
While the article itself is not particularly noteworthy, I couldn't
help be marvel at the irony of the title and the quote, as they
apply to the true nature of the call for mandatory service currently
being enforced in our schools and proposed for all citizens. Like the
Greeks bearing
gifts, the service initiative is dressed up in a Trojan horse of
altruistic rhetoric designed to convince people that their enslavement
by the state is actually in their best interest and something for
which they would "volunteer" if only they were not being
forced do so so! Yes, "giving" is certainly the
"new taking" — the taking of one's freedom!
