I like the idea of civics class.... - onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene.

The first thing I would suggest is stay away from all major media. All they are looking to do is feed their side and flame the other to get more eyeballs on them.... I like the basic notion of national service, although I see it less as a service to the nation (can you imagine having to make a bottom quartile American 18 year old productive when they arrive in your camp in Somalia?), but rather a service to them, for the purpose you've...
