Donald Rumsfeld Wants You...to join your local draft board. Really. In a minor yet sinister move, the Pentagon is moving to fill draft board posts: they say it's the "natural cycle of things" (?!), other see the growing Vietnamesque quagmire in Iraq and tremble at the thought of conscripting young men to fight there. There's a whopping 80% vancancy rate, since there has been no need for them in 25 years. The good people at True Majority have a creative solution, though -- get out there and join the board! I quote their email to me: "If you were a scared teenager in your community confronted with being drafted, who would you want deciding your fate?" I'd say, me.
