Literally. I cried myself to sleep last night and my eyes are leaking again today. I don't know what people are thinking. I don't know how they can look at that idiot and see a "leader" of any kind. A draft-dodging drug using party boy who has alway cheated to win. Looks like we're in for four more years of tax breaks for the wealthy and young men dying in the name of...oil.

I just don't understand. All I know is I'm going to encourage my son to marry his fiance as soon as possible. I don't trust the idiot not to reinstate the draft and my child is not going. He has a baby to take care of. I won't give up my child to an unjust war.

Anyway, I'm still shell-shocked. I don't know how I'm going to concentrate at work today. Because I will look at the people around me and wonder--why?

There will be no draft lady. It absolutely will not happen. It would be the most politically suicidal move ANYONE could make today to pass a draft, and I think it would be met with heavy resistance and require martial law to enforce it. The armed forces work far better as a volunteer force than as a drafted force. It always has and always will work better. I'd bet you $100 that there will be no draft in Bush's secord term, and I'll hold up to my end of that bet, how about you?
