Honey, remember that trip to Canada we were talking about? it might end up being a little longer than we planned.

"The proposal, which the agency's acting director Lewis Brodsky presented to senior Pentagon officials just before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, also seeks to extend the age of draft registration to 34, up from 25."

Ya know, I just heard the Talking Heads song "Life During Wartime" for the first time in years and it suddenly has a whole new meaning.
I want my country back.
At the starting of the week
At summit talks you'll hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fools' day
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

DJ Shadow's "Six Days"
Whoever said that history had ended was wrong.
Fukuyama? He said as much after 911. (Can't be arsed finding a link to this guy.) But then, he had another book to sell.
34 sounds reasonable - after all, wasn't it up around there during WW II?
Well, then, here we go again.
What a long, strange trip it's been.
Those who don't remember their own history do seem doomed to repeat it, alas.
Strangely, my brother was just saying last night that he'd be happy to go.
i don't understand the original DU link. how is contingency planning for implementing a draft the same thing as, a draft is coming? that's like saying, we're having a fire drill so obviously a fire is on the way next week.
Turnoffs: and guys who think they need meat to build muscles
I hate to tell you this, Ricardo, but you're no counter-example.
split infinitives, and people who want to eat meat, eggs, or dairy products in front of him without hearing why he thinks they shouldn't.
Not only ignorant about grammar, but manners, too!
