1. Gives "bring back the 60's" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 10:45 PM by JohnOneillsMemory
I'm 42 years old so I was a teenager from Watergate through Carter's term. My friends and I were in awe of the culture wars our older siblings fought during the 60's and some of us wished we had been part of the excitement of the liberation movements of that time. Who would have thought we'd get our own shot at facing imperial troop quagmires, apartheid and war-machine induced domestic poverty AGAIN?! Shit, we've fought these battles before. Get the Baby Boomers who can remember the 60's and their kids up in proverbial arms. Let's get the teenagers off of MTV,American Idol and the rest of TV and back on the streets again with THE DRAFT. Nothin' makes you reach for the blanket of civil rights and democracy like a nice cold DRAFT! Feel a little reality for a change, motherfuckers, put down the remote, get real and fight for the planet!
