If one's posterior belonged to the Fairfield County Draft Board, there 
wasn't a hell of a lot of difference between #2 and #249.  As I recall 
to make their quota they were going over 325.

Ah!  Coincides with the springing fourth of all them rural Communes!  
Coincidence?

I wonder if anyone's ever studied the variety of responses to the 
draft.  Some doing extreme things to avoid, others volunteering as 
early as possible, some just letting it happen, and everything in 
between.  Women's reactions were curious too.

And after all these years, my only objection is that it was managed so 
unfairly.  I think public service does young people good and does the 
nation and community good.  Kind of like public schools...or don't they 
do that any more?  With all the focus on our deversity, who's watching 
out for our unity?
