You appear to have quite the giggling episodes out here, maybe you should be seen for that, it could be serious.
Private police forces do exactly that now, I don't know of any problems created by that, do you? If you do, please relate them.

Here is the part where you guys should sit down: I probably am with Joe on the mandatory service thing. That is the case in Israel. There would be MANY benefits. Blue collar and white collar folks would have temporary camaraderie. Both groups would have to learn to make their beds and pick up after themselves. Physical fitness. All citizens would have a massive stake in how quick our leaders are to declare war on other countries. Et Cetera.

Slavery, compulsory service, and involuntary servitude are, thankfully, prohibited by the Constitution. That's not a protection we need from ourselves, it's a protection from government that might otherwise enslave us, since it has done so extensively in the past, it's a valid fear.
