Old slogan:
America: Land of the Free
New, improved slogan:
America: Compared to other countries, we're not that bad so complaining about stuff is kind of pointless, just go along with it and be glad you're not in a gulag.
Selective Service is a method of ensuring that if the draft were to be suddenly reinstated, our government would have a ready and waiting pool of draftees. And like a few have already mentioned, since most people won't register, they tie it to money. Most people will register in order to make sure they get federal funds.
What does that say about us?
