Might help with the economic depression, too?

Combine that with the old CCC & WPA and you might have something. They would have enough work to stay busy, while they learned the needed skills to help in emergencies.
I think you're right. One more evidence, of the Oh Bomb Us admin lack of real efforts to relieve the depression.

In theory, wasn't Ameri-Corps suppose to do something like this?

The kids can go without math, science, english, all that academic foo foo rah, but you need lights for the football field, and hot showers for after games and workouts.
Sadly, I know a number of people who seem to have this attitude.
If you went to the store, and bought a box of brownie mix. Came home, and it was full of macaroni and cheese. Would you think that's OK?

So, you go to the book store. You buy a book which is entitled "Tom Swift, and the Space Machine". You go home and open the book, which turns out to be the manual for M-1 Garand rifles. You OK with that?

It doesn't much matter, if the subject lines are consistent with the text body. You can also group the messages by date sent, and that makes fairly good sense.

Thank you for trimming old text. Sure is easier than scrolling through endless chicken scratches.

No, if I -paid- for it, but I don't quibble with free food or the subject of other peoples' conversations.
The content, maybe.
Depends largely on the disaster. For somethings like tornadoes they are mainly used as cops to patrol areas with some civil engineering type things (generators, clean waters, etc) tossed in. For floods the same plus often help with defense issues such as filling and moving around sandbags.
NOS tubes are readily available. It looks like I have 20 NOS 6GH8A left in my stash:
Visit news:rec.antiques.radio+phono if you need old parts. Lots of tube radio collectors can point you to what you need. There is a Yahoo antique radio group, as well.
Why do you whiny GGers need to curse like a four year old? We already know you aren't very bright.
Get a real news server and the right software, instead of GG's increasingly useless HTML spam portal that's set up to be as useless as possible, while trying to make it look like Usenet is something Google owns. Learn to use something that can actually thread messages. There is plenty of free software, and free or dirt cheap news servers.
Real jobs are better than welfare, any day.
It's extremely likely that those who shun the military would also be adverse to hard work, so your idea - a good one in theory - would wither from lack of participation.
Get the government boot off the corporate neck?

The computers. Today's lesson plans DEPEND on student computer activity.
One student asked me (probably a teacher-fed question): "What kind of jobs are available in the computer field"?
I blinked twice and responded:
"Jobs? You've got computers on your desk. You'll probably get a grade on my presentation. Heck, you can't even be a little kid in elementary school without the use of computers. By the time you graduate, there'll be buttons on shovel handles! Jobs? Instead talk about just being able to LIVE."
Man, I don't remember the last time I worked on anything that had tubes in except for CRT's. O_o

I think you missed the point, all soldiers don't hold a tank when they present arms. There are many different jobs to be done that don't require heavy equipment. ^_^

get the morons out of office, no matter what party they belong to. The first requirement to run for office should be a good work history, followed by a full disclosure of their personal and family medical history. All grades, from grade school forward be made public. IOW, demand the 'transparency' we were promised in 2008.
Fine, try GUN CONTROL in lieu of the recent news again!!!
