The only thing we have to fear...
easily one of the best and most convincing articles i’ve read on here in a while..not to say that you produce any less than great normally.

Posted by harry on from upstate 10/03 at 04:59 PMOk, I’ve finally decided. I’m voting for:
Gomer Pyle!
But seriously, I have 4 kids (created some and adopted some), 2 females/2males, 22 yrs to 10 yrs. The draft looms large in my household. My generation burned their draft cards in protest and then quickly enrolled in college (or started going to class, studying and making passing grades!) to avoid the draft. My children will have to not only burn their draft cards, they will also have to burn their driver licenses, no? (my almost 16 yr old is PISSED OFF! He’s waited so long to drive!)
And how about the rest of us? How many of our kids and their friends will have to die so that we can drive our cars? (not to mention Iraqi children, not to mention all of the rest of our profligate energy-wasting lifestyle, etc, etc.) I wonder if the draft will be the proverbial straw. I certainly hope so. We’re already leaving our children the earth as shit pile—their grandchildren will still be cleaning up our messes. The least we can do begin to power down now and try to limit some of the damage.Posted by stacy on from whidbey island 10/04 at 01:22 PM
