I can almost bet we won't hear another word about it for quite some time though.

LOL. ahh, that's good, did you mean the origional draft bill? that's not the issue. what i think he was getting at was
re-instating the draft. and the patriot act which i'm sure you fully support says something along the lines of: if you dodge the draft, you are basically guilty of treason, if you leave the country, you can't come back. and it added a slew of back-door draft measures for already enlisted men and women, ever notice how there are troops who were supposed to come home from iraq, but couldn't because they were forced to stay? government regulations!
as for the scare tactic, eehhhh, i dunno, cause with the patriot act, it became an issue again. it kinda brought itself back into the spotlight.
but i am with you here: if they did start the draft up again, I'd be there. just cause right now, i have nothing better to do. no girlfriend. mostly broke. w00t, i'm what the gov. is looking for!
