uhmmm nooooo I did read it.
You read the title. Read the posts:

From the article:

In December 2001, Canada and the US signed a "Smart Border Declaration," which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in. Signed by Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Manley, and US Homeland Security Director, Gov. Tom Ridge, the declaration involves a 30-point plan which implements, among other things, a "pre-clearance agreement" of people entering and departing each country.

From Boris (not a Republican by any means):

Um, do a quick search on the Senate and House web sites for the resolutions. They are 1) being offered by Democrats (Hollings in the Senate, Rangel in the House), and 2) referring to a national service program of the like advocated by Kerry, one that does not require military service.

Ruh roh, but then my wife is in trouble, as she's 23:

SEC. 10. REGISTRATION OF FEMALES UNDER THE MILITARY SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT.

(a) REGISTRATION REQUIRED- Section 3(a) of the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. 453(a)) is amended--

(2) by inserting `or herself' after `himself'; and

(3) by striking `he' and inserting `the person'.
But hey, they will let you finish high school (but enrollment in college is irrelevant this time)

Because those were the two bills the article relied on to say the draft was comming. Boris' post showed the basis for these claims are without merit.

Yes... not just pwned, but:

Find another guy and kiss him in front of the board .

That goes to "impeachable offences."

It'd have to be revealled OPENLY that his motives were grossly influenced by factors other than national defence and such. And that couldn't happen in a timely fashion; it'd be months...even years, before his alterior motives were revealled with verifiable documentation.



Why has he gotten away with so much so far? I'm at a loss to explain that, but I voted Yes in the Karma thread. It's just a matter of time...

Are you on crazy pills? The article and this thread were specifically about S 89 and HR 163. There was no reference to any "stealth" Bush plan whatsoever. So who exactly is bringing in irrelevant points here?

And just where is the floating Bush plan, and why should I believe in it any more than the 50,000,000 other rumors floating around the net?

Asher, if the draft is reinstated, would you mind terribly coming down to Reno...just for a weekend?

Or, better yet, if I show up unexpectedly on your doorstep one day, help me for I've possibly fled the US.




...Suddenly, I find myself depressed.
