It looks obvious

Living in the US meant for me, the immigrant, one simple thing - the promise of freedom to be whatever I can be. I admit it was a romantic view more than reality, but yet it was the place that represent individual freedom more than any other place in the world. As always reality never lived up to the dreams and the level of individual freedom was less than I was hoping for and yet, there was the hope that the trend of the collectivism will turn.

The new administration plans for National Service are a major shift in the concept of what the US is about. And like little drops more evidence are piling and demonstrating the new path - a tyranny of the collective over our live. I don’t know how do you fill, but for me the idea of the government forcing my children to work in the kolkhoz is very scary idea.

It is clearer than ever now that the Change promised during the election was more than real. It is a change for the core of what the US was all about - the protection of Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
