LOL... Draft Registration
Seriously though, with talk of the draft murmuring around, I'm even gladder I'm planning on skipping town. I sometimes wonder why people make so much of the idea that *gasp* women would be included in such a draft. I mean, yes, it's terrible - but so is drafting men. Equally terrible. Just as it should be equally fine for women to join voluntarily, and not thought of as kind of weird. I think thoughts and values regarding armed forces are stuck rather further back in time than on many other topics.
