He's also free to tell me to wear a suit and tie every day or not, or to tell me to come in at 4:30 a.m. and leave at 7:46 p.m. if he wants, although I am free to quit if I'm unhappy. He can tell you to be at work for 15+ hours per day on a regular basis? |

"Henry Spencer" wrote in message ... I would be very surprised if TSA's airport-security screeners are truly race/color-blind. I should hope they are not. Being politically correct and searching the bloomers of retirees while going out of the way to even look at someone who fits the historical profile is hurting security. If the draft is revived -- which I understand has been mentioned, although I'm not sure how seriously Not seriously at all. Some Democratic yahoo mentioned it while complaining that the all volunteer military was racist, since not enough rich white boys were volunteering. Then Pat Tillman got killed, a rich white boy recognized by a whole lot of people, who *walked away* from an NFL contract in order to enlist, making the liberal arguement clearly and demonstrably *wrong*. it will be interesting to see whether draft boards are forbidden to consider creed when evaluating claims for conscientious-objector status. They weren't last time. "Conscientious objector" should *only* permit someone to either enter the medical field, or be assigned to labor tasks (like janitorial work) on stateside bases. It should *not* be allowed to let a physically able person avoid service. |

Ah, fire-bombing ... like Dresden and Coventry! .... ah, but that is the point, even moderates (and perhaps even many westerners) start believing that nuking New York City is justifiable. Hopefully neither side is that stupid. You have no idea how this whole thing is playing in the Middle East. We have a lot of fuel-air bombs. If we run out of those, we have worse. I think I am starting to realise, just how badly the USA has lost this war. Morally, if not physically. Certainly the very surprising attitudes of people around here, justifying torture and worse, is shocking. Someone remind me again, why the USA backed out of the International Court of Justice? Nick |

Noone commits atrocities without having some internal justification, and too much of the rhetoric has looked like people talking themselves into accepting genocide. Paul |

Since when did the French ever admit they were wrong? (mind you, a few other nations come to mind too!) Nick |
