...programs which McCloskey would have young people join--the Peace Corps, ACTION, etc.--are based on concepts of voluntarism. And herein lies the contradiction: what a recent Library of Congress study labels the "highly questionable" constitutionality under 13th amendment which prohibits non-military "involuntary servitude." Even within a framework of military or civilian choice such as the one McCloskey offers, young people have no choice but to serve. The estimated $20 billion cost of compulsory service seems better spent on ensuring freedom of choice while making the volunteer army a more attractive alternative. The fear of the draft has returned...
...American Mr. Clean hero and his two musketeers, pursue the evil sex ray to its source, discovering a sexual munchkin land where Prince Precious and his tandy tribe frolic in spite of the Evil Wang's despotic rule. The special effects--including penises as monsters, trees, spaceships, etc.--all seem like the products of a pervert with a chemistry set in someone's bathroom.

This has been both in theory and practice a woefully inadequate response...
...obfuscation and delay. First, the entire process is dependent on data and information the corporations themselves provide. While most major companies provide information on employment practice, few (if any) are willing to provide information on taxes paid to the South African government, sales of strategic products and services, etc. In fact, corporations are precluded under South African law from disclosing sales to military and law enforcement agencies...
