In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Money well spent?

Citizens Against Government Waste is a great site because they not only rank members of Congress as to their wastefulness, but you can find out exactly what the government is spending your money on. Some of the items in the last few years include: $12,800,000 for Alaska land mobile radios, $17 million to digitize Dept. of Defense manuals, $13.5 to the International Fund for Ireland, $6,435,000 for wood utilization research, $4,200,ooo for shrimp aquaculture research, $5.6 million to the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, $4 million to the Visitors Center at the Kodiac National Wildlife Refuge, $179,000 for hydroponic tomato production research, $2,045,000 to the Appalachian Fruit Laboratory in West Virginia, and lastly, my favorite, $1.3 million for berry research in Alaska.

You mean the framers didn't already have that stuff in the Constitution? Go to cagw.org to find out more!
