Give me a little help here. Supposedly, our society (50.1% of the population) says that there are things we ought to do and will force us to do, but we have no way of determining what ought to be done?
Sounds problematic to me, seeing how one person's idea of what ought to be done can differ radically from another's. It seems that what ought to be done is entirely subjective. So we are then to make that subjectivity into law?
Nah, I don't like this one bit. Put me down for the "I'll do whatever the hell I like as long as I don't infringe on anyone else's rights" crowd.
Also, your indentured servitude example doesn't hold water because that servent choose to enter into the period of service, the draft is a bunch of jack-booted thugs with guns saying "comply, or else".
