But the draft is slavery, and slaves make lousy defenders of freedom. I like knowing I'm being protected by people who are in the military because they want to be there, not because they were forced against their will to be there. A military focused on defending America instead of policing the globe would reduce manpower needs and further eliminate any reason to have a draft or draft registration. Let's let free people defend freedom. America's free press is envied by freedom-starved people everywhere.
Dictators use a controlled press to silence opposition and to feed lies to their citizens.
Americans would not like it if the government here owned or controlled the newspapers. As with printed words, broadcast words can and should be regulated by the free market. Americans should be able to freely choose what they will watch or listen to, without Big Brother making those decisions for them. Nothing is more personal than the way people chose to shape their sexual relationships. Government has no business intruding into people's bedrooms.
