The sixties had the Peace Corps.
Just following through.
If any sort of youth organization comes around, I'd definitely be worried though.
It looks like there is an oppportunity to do god things with, for, and alongside of your own community.
--at least that's how its being packaged.
(just a note: I always assume that whatever the Image Makers are up to, as far as defining the parameters of what we percieve, whatever they are doing they are doing very well and probably at one remove from each of our abilities to percieve their manipulations . . . but of course this has nothing to do with the stuff in this thread)
{after edit}
also, the Peace Corps is seen by many on the left not as such a good thing but rather as a subtle form of cultural and political Imperialism. I don't say this though. . . on this I have no opinion . . I imagine it could be true sometimes and wrong others

<strong>Anyone bother to read the web site for this. Or are we all just going to spout off ignorant bullshit?</strong><hr></blockquote>
I read the site. Now I am wondering if anyone else has an opinion on it. Looks overall to be a good thing, but just because a website says it is good does not mean it necessarily is. That is why I am wondering if anyone has volunteered or called them...
