when bush re-instates the draft what will be it's new orwellian name
i am thinking that it will be something like the secure america act, the new freedom initative would be good but they are using that one for their thx 1138 drugging school children bill.

so since they obviously can't call it the draft, what will they call it

damn broken shift keys, i cannot make question marks.
