Frankly, I don't feel it's that unlikely. And if it is so unlikely, why not
dismantle the whole operation instead of keeping it around like a not quite
dead parasite. Drive a stake into it's heart and be done with it.

I have never and will never register for the draft, thank you very much. I
guess that means I am at risk of fine and I can't get a job at the post office
or obtain a student loan. I can live with that. 

If I feel the war is justified, I will volunteer, but *NO ONE* tells me I must
place my life on the line without my consent. They try it and they'll be
placing their own life on the line.

Sorry, Dave, I guess I'm just not as patriotic a guy as yourself.
