Saturday, April 24th, 2004

Having not left yet, I wanted to post a thought I had while I had it. Regarding my earlier post. I have been doing some thinking and it occurs to me precisely why I am not Libertarian. My sense of duty and honor compels me to be more than looking out for number one. I [...]

The Draft

Friday, April 23rd, 2004

Mrs. Du Toit talks about the draft. I think I pretty much agree with her. What about duty and honor? The Military is taking, but they’re not desperate. I am ready and willing to go.
