Oh I do feel a draft....in it isn't even December yet
Today on campus (University of Central Florida) there were two army recruiting boths and someone trying to hand out fliers if your were interested in the military.
Didn't see many takers, and probably not one college rethug.
Constant war is what is upon us.
There are a lot of worried college students.
Maybe people should think of more than their own greed and arrogance in this country
take care
