If this is going to be voted for then maybe everybody should do it?

If this is about a fantastic opportunity to give back to the communities that raised us then I don't see why we artificial limit it to people who are 18 when we've all benefited from our country. Why limit the ability to 'give back' to those lucky kids who'll turn 18 in 2029?

It might look to them as if we're forcing them to do something we wouldn't do ourselves. We get compelled to do jury service so let's follow that model.

Every so often there will be a draw and if you're picked you need to do some community service for one weekend every month for a year. You're eligible from 18 to 75. Once you've done your year then that's you sorted for life.

If you don't you're fined and barred from public service jobs.
