Olyve,

I thought about going to Canada too, when I was drafted. I didn't and stuck it out. Those were not happy times for me.

Had my son been ever been at risk of being drafted, well, I don't know that I could support that. I might have done something pretty drastic to keep him from that experience.

War is completely insane, barbaric, and unnecessary as far as Im concerned and don't give a damn about who disagrees with me.

Where there are job strikes...those who strike are rarely the true beneficiary's of their reasons for striking. They can never make up the loss for their cause. But war is way more brutal and costly. If one loses their home or car...eventually then can replace them in most cases, but when one loses a child, sibling, or spouse...they can never be replaced. The resources expended by governments can't be recovered to be better ulitized for progress and for truly positive causes and needs.

I agree with Schlack...women shouldn't serve in military...but neither should men.

Turn on ANY brand of political machine - and it automatically goes to the "SPIN and LIE CYCLE" wink

Yours Truly - Gregg
