3. Don't you remember,
You only get the tax deduction if your brand new leviathan weighs enough AND gets poor gas mileage.

2. At the risk of bashing Americans...
(well, I guess I am)...You better believe that if the draft is instituted, there will be a sudden drop in those who support it.
Reminds me of the old "Not in my Backyard" scenario.

5. The end of the draft was the worst thing to happen to the peace
movement, it hurt the American Left as well. Interest in left wing politics began to drop off among the young after the draft ended, not after the Vietnam war ended. Nixon knew what he was doing. Keep it real Mari333. Hoping you have a reunion with your loved one soon. I am with you bring back the draft ala Rangle, not these chicken shit exemptions ala Bush, which you will see if this monkey gets another term.
