Re:	Draft &c.

First of all, Matt Bishop's argument about military service can be made
just as forcefully about taxes ... not just *excessive* taxes, but *any*
taxes.  Anyone advocating such a point of view would probably have to be
an anarchist-type libertarian in order to avoid being self-contradictory.

Secondly, the Constitution was drawn up more or less under orders from
the Continental Congress and was definitely **not** an act of treason.
The major document which has such a claim to fame would be the
Declaration of Independence.

If people are going to discuss this topic, at least let's have a little
more careful thinking than has characterized it so far!!!
