Why on cnn.com, msnbc.com, etc, is the first story NOT that the government is now involuntarily forcing people into military service? And instead is some crap about 70% of Americans believing there will be another terrorist attack? Who cares about some stupid poll results?

They are, for all intents and purposes, DRAFTING people at this point. And it's only a matter of time before we'll have a civilian draft. I mean, DUers have known this all along. But is the general public not shocked by this news? Is this just another story they'll swallow with their morning coffee? Where's the outrage? When they instituted the draft for Vietnam, people rioted in the streets.

I don't understand this country.
