Nothing "fevered" about it. I'll sue, too, if Obama et alia try to force some sort of lame-assed community service on my family.
If I got a DUI or didn't pay child support and got caught, sure, then I owe the community some trash pickup time, or worse.
My government, however, will not mandate I do it, and I guarantee that such a grandiose scheme won't come to fruition if those of us holding our freedoms dear have any say in the matter.
All Obama has to do is call it something cute like "Americorps", and get starry-eyed believers to do it of their own volition. No need to mandate community service, short of some Socialist goal of his...
