Re: Women and the Draft

Yes, it is sad that people may just repeat what they read in history books, but there are many facts out there that are not biased. Take into account how much information is being hidden about this "draft issue." Many friends who I speak with were not even aware of its existence. Hiding information for election popularity is a form of bias, though in a very skewed way.
I watched the news. There was enough information on their to know the issue was present. In fact the last I heard was that there was not going to be a full fledged draft. Though there may be a form of it. From what I heard only computer people (I think) and translators may be drafted.

Notably, the New York Times ran an article just a few days ago criticizing THEMSELVES of not criticizing pre-Iraq war policies and government actions enough. They believed they failed at keeping the public informed before the war was declared. They believed in the media's power so much that they were willing to publicly admit it when they thought they did less than they could. Prop
I heard that too. In fact the commentary I heard was that the media was swinging from little coverage of the pre-war to the other extreme.

Hooah, I have been to the sand box, cant say I liked it much. But from that perspective you come to realize that everything you see, every single piece of information you recieve, even that which you concieve in your own brain is slanted and warped in some way. Thus, you realize that you can never, ever count on anything and NOTHING is factual.
Hey I knew that to be a fact. I remeber the Lend-Lease Act that was passed. Roosevelt did want to help anyway he could be he was facing a hard time.
