Currently, there is a law which requires students receiving financial
aid to certify that they have registered for the draft.  I am actively
opposing this measure.

Sorry Larry, but them's the breaks. You can't have your cake and eat
it too (to coin a phrase :-) ). If you want the government to back
up your education, you DAMN well be ready to back up the government.

NOBODY, i repeat, NOBODY is making you kill anyone. The draft is just
the "census" of all available males. IF they is a war and IF you get
chosen and IF you are REALLY against killing, you can get a desk job.

Note: I don't sleep with my MacArthur doll under american flag sheets,
I just RESENT people who take the government for granted when it's
doing good to them (i.e. LOANS), but who refuse to do meaningless
things like sign up for the draft.... I am 17, I might need a loan
to make it through college, but i'll be at my post office on the
18th birhtday.....
