Let's see if this story line continues

1. Ain't that the truth!

2. The rich quite agree with the future hedge fund cube rat

so he will never have to fight. Count on it.

We all hate pasty youth with soft hands who think they're too good to fight a war their daddies are profiting from.

However, they'll always be protected. That's one of life's lessons.

That's why military service for the rest of us has to be voluntary.

3. Unless they require the rich and powerful to serve, there

should be no draft.

As long as bush continues his dream of world domination, a universal draft should be on the table.

[Warpy]

4. Repeat after me, THE RICH WILL NEVER FIGHT A WAR.

That's OUR job. NO draft has been or can ever be made UNIVERSAL in this country.

It's just not going to happen.

We were there, remember. We remember what the "universal" peacetime draft was like and will be again.

Congress will never allow the children of their fatcat contributors to go into harm's way.

[alfredo]

7. Rangel understands that. He's just making a point about class and

bush's dreams of empire.

If bush wants his wars he will have to have a draft, and the only way he can have a draft is if he doesn't have exemptions that favor the rich and powerful. There will be no draft.

5. Didn't Chelsea Clinton just start to work at a hedge fund?

[alfredo]

8. yes.

9. When did she come out in favor of the Iraq war?

I seem to have missed it.

[valerief]

6. So, so true. Hypocrisy at its finest. nt
