Instead of a National Guard, why not establish a Natural Guard of environmental soldiers to be our front line for survival—planting trees, harvesting biomass (e.g., hemp) from marginal farm lands?

    A Natural Guard of electricians, plumbers, engineers, and laborers who work re-building the infrastructure of America: our roads, bridges, dams, canals, sewers, railroad tracks, etc.

    Isn’t this the humane, civilized, and socially responsible way to use our human resources, rather than warehousing persons like animals in prisons?
