I suppose if tell my son or daughter to wash the dishes that too would count as childhood slavery. Certainly to be totally PC we would never call it service to the family.

I volunteered for the Navy and served my four years, some of it Vietnam combat, because I knew that I owed much to the extent (and beyond) that I had received much, and wished to repay that, enabling others to receive in turn. A sense of duty to the society that nurtures us will inevitably keep that society strong; a sense of entitlement can only weaken it.
