| Message | Yes, absolutely. It's essential that young people contribute some form of national service, especially if their college tuition is being paid in full. |

| Message | Article 2 is great. We don't like Article 1 because free university tuition tends to subsidise the rich more than the poor, but it's not a big deal. |

| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
