Ind e-Pen XL: Drafting Roughly

The Ind e-Pen
+++vol+1+++BT+40+++

Introduction
==================

And as of this week we are exactly three-quarters of the way through with the year. Yey, everybody!

I couldn’t have done it without you! That’s right. I couldn’t have grown older without you… you youth-stealing sociopaths. Grr. I’m going to go eat some cereal and listen to NPR for a while now.

Draft, draft, draft

————————-

So it turns out there might soon be a draft. Soon is subjective, of course. Because there won’t, coincidentally, be a vote on it until after election day. You’ve gotta love congress.
The bill is called HR 163 in the House and S 89 IS in the senate, but don’t bother looking it up as that. Though every other bill can be found by its number, for some reason you have to enter the entire title of the bill in the Senate’s search engine to find it (www.senate.gov): the Universal National Service Act.
I have a copy of the bill, but instead of summing it up, I’ll let Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) do it for me: “This bill requires all young Americans – men and women between 18 and 26 – to perform a two year period of national service in a military or civilian capacity as determined by the President. For those who conscientiously object to war, the bill assures that any military service would not include combat. Otherwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service for their country, as did our President.”
Strong words there for a guy who supports an act that will force all college-age Americans to do all of the work. Notice how the age limit for being a senator is 30 and for being a representative is 25?
Anyway, I’ve been unable to find any soon to be elected officials that have any position (either way) on the draft. It seems as if everyone is staying away from it on purpose. Hmm… now why would anyone do that?
More later.

15 Topics I cannot cover because of impending reader mutiny:

——————————————————————

  1. The cereal wars I have with my mother while shopping
  2. My poetry (“rub-a-dub dub…”)
  3. health
  4. sexuality
  5. common household objects
  6. My unhealthy sexual attraction to common household objects (esp. when it’s not my house)
  7. My secret wish that Nelly would do a song with Nelly Furtado.
  8. vitamins
  9. Ethical Dilemmas and Paradoxes in extremely relatable situations
  10. How I’m hoping I can get addicted to the game of Risk again.
  11. That NMSU’s college paper, the Round Up (www.roundupnews.com) has consistently gone over its budget the past three years. This year by $48,307.20
  12. How readers are the laziest mutiniers of all time
  13. How Butt has always and will always be wrong about everything in life
  14. How good it feels to be a gangsta
  15. How I hate writing Top 15 lists
A Small Quiz:

Congratulations to Butt. I thought I was almost through with sending you free issues, but then you answered again. Screw you, Butt. Screw you in the orifice of your choice, Butt.

This Week:
  1. Are you FOR or AGAINST being drafted? (This only applies if you or someone you know is going to be between 18 and 26 and planning on living in the United States until the end of ‘terror’)
  2. If you were a gangsta, how would it feel?
  3. Are you feeling mutinous?

  3. 1. I don’t agree with the draft. We don’t need it. I mean, if we were being invaded by some country like Russia. Yeah, I would fight for my country. But I would never go to another country to help some spoiled president kick the ass of the man that owned on my father. I’d shoot myself in the foot to avoid going over.

    2. I would act white yo, because ya’ll know I act black as a white man. Shit yo, I already have a kick ass name. T-Rob, that’s soooooo gangsta!

    3 “Don’t question authority, they don’t know either.”

    3 yes

  5. 1: Are you FOR or AGAINST being drafted? (This only applies if you or someone you know is going to be between 18 and 26 and planning on living in the United States until the end of ‘terror’)
    Completely against it as far as the army goes, but artisticly, it is the only way to get a good finish.

    2: If you were a gangsta, how would it feel?
    Gangsterrific!

    3: Are you feeling mutinous?
    I’ve never been a mutant in all my life. What have they told you? :::suspicious smirk:::

  6. 1.Hell No I’m not for the fucking draft. Fuck that. NONONONONONONO. I’n not going anywhere!
    2.If you want to know about being a gangsta I’ll tell you some things. There was this time when i was in the seventh grade and i was in a drive by. Crazy huh?
