JFK stated : "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
Do you think people live by this today? (Besides the military)

To answer the title question. It all depends on who you ask. Great scores of people ask that on a daily basis and find that in many aspects JFK's word ring hollow in todays society. On the other hand there are just as many who try to live their lives as true to their country as possible. The best way to determine if JFK's message still has meaning and whether people still live by it is to Drive up and down the Streets in your town and count the flags. go to the mall count how many times someone holds the door for someone else. Count the Thank you's you recieve in a day. Excuse me, your welcome. Those people still honour the Message and their country. I hope that you will be happily suprized to see that it does still have meaning.

This sounds like a fascist dictate.... it is like our own Indira Gandhi in India who introduced a chapter on fundamental duties in the constitution during the emergency she had declared... in order to counter the chapter on fundamental rights!!!
People need protection from concentrated power in state... not the other way round!!!
