With all of the hoopla over Anna Nicole Smith's body and baby (not to mention the slow motion car crash that is Britney Spears) to serve as distraction, is it any wonder that most of us missed the news of the introduction of HR 393? Called the "Universal National Service Act of 2007", it is a new and improved draft. Check it out: "To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security (and) to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services." This sucker is currently making its way through a couple of committees where, with a Democrap controlled House, it will probably die. But if you're between 18 and 42, you MIGHT want to start looking at communes in Canada...
