88. I don't trust this government as far as I can throw it.
Under Bush or one of the Republicans like him, how do we keep national service from being construed as "go to that protected forest and cut it all down" or "go to the border with Mexico and shoot anyone crossing it who looks too brown"?

Laws certainly won't keep it from happening. We learned with the warrantless wiretapping and the outing of Valerie Plame that the Republicans don't give a damn what the law says; they do whatever they want. And delivering millions of young people into their hands to do with as they please...well, I don't like that idea one iota.
