Mike, Draft dodgers can only become Presidents and get away with their dodging with the proper connections. If you are the Slickster, you dodge, or George W. Bush or Dan Quayle, you get into "No Go, No Guts" wartime National Guard units that no normal dude can get in to. Or, if you are lucky and learn how to understand spoken Russian, as yours truly did, the Army sends you to Germany to win fights with our allies in gasthauses. <g>

Mike - lewrockwell.com "...As each political party accuses the other of corruption, here's the rule of thumb: believe every word. The more at stake, the higher the price people will pay for access to power. When interest groups have to compete for access, the price is bid ever higher. Thus corruption and graft must characterize any system that loots some 40 percent of the national income, blows $1.7 trillion of other people's money every year, plays central banker to the world, and assumes godlike powers over every aspect of our lives..."
