I think the only thing that may wake this country up ...

...is a military draft. Sad, but I think things will only degrade further and we need a negative shock to bring people to their senses and realize whats happening!

1. Sad but you may be right

Social security privatization is awful, but has a built in hook - offering cash.

2. Even that might not do it.

The fascists are gaining strength. In this "1984" world we live in, all Bush has to do is name it the "Defense of the Homeland Act" and a majority will think it's a good idea.

3. Good grief! You are so correct! It is truly sad how complacent this

country has become to the horrible things being bestowed on it!!

4. You may be right.

One part of me says we need to do it but the other part says no. I don't believe in this Iraq war and I don't want to see anyone have to go fight it. Having said that, if the draft only took Busy lovers, that would be all right with me!
