[question everything]

and thank you for the link.

One difference that I see is that the CCC took unemployed young men and put them in the program and, I suppose, paid them some type of wages. While I am talking about the well off and the comfortable who would prefer to concentrate on their careers and joy of life and not pause for even a day to give to the community, at no charge, except for room and board and pocket money.

I think that even in JFK days, the ideas of giving to society was not foreign while today we really do ask "what our country can do for us."
