Consider the source. Volunteerism, which has nothing to do with communism, is a worthy goal and should be encouraged by the government. Especially today when there are so many in need and government budgets are shrinking, we depend on volunteers and contributions to fill the gap. When you volunteer for an organization or cause that you support, you are contributing to the community and to society as a whole. Moreover, volunteers derive much satisfaction from helping others and are less likely to be depressed. Perhaps, rather than listening to Mr. Beck, some could use their time more profitably to make the world a better place by volunteering.
