Default Rep Rangel introduces Draft Bill (for Iran?!):

heavily minority district in Detroit and adamantly against the

Well, not from Rangel's point of view. The intent is to keep up the
fear factor among university students. Perhaps your institution is
different, but the local campus believes with the fervor of the newly
converted that the Bush administration is about to institute the draft
the minute they divert their eyes.

Another fervent belief, though perhaps not so widespread, is that
soldiers are being stationed on the borders so that, when the time
comes, they can turn their rifles in the other direction and complete
the fascist takeover.

To judge from reading the student newspaper, as I do from month to
month, is to wonder anew at the gullibility of the young, and their
lack of any historical sense. You regularly read about how wars are
always started by Republican presidents (presumably including WWI,
WWII, Korean, and Vietnam, to name the major American military
conflicts of the 20th century).
