Change is already happening!

And that's a good thing. Obama's plan to require community service:

"Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year."

Has been changed to:

"..... Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."

I've mentioned before that the whole notion of "required volunteerism" kind of creeps me out. Nice to see this adjustment.

I prefer the term "voluntold."
