skills-based draft I would do wonders for liberal arts colleges and majors such as hairdressers, insurance sales, and aroma therapy. <font color=darkgreen>``We've been on a journey,'' said Ford, ``We went to try and find out something about this planet.'' ``Oh,'' said the girl archly, ``doesn't sound very productive to me.'' ``No? Well have I got news for you, my love. We have discovered this planet's future.'' Ford waited for this statement to have its effect. It didn't have any. They didn't know what he was talking about. He continued. ``It doesn't matter a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys what you all choose to do from now on. Burn down the forests, anything, it won't make a scrap of difference. Your future history has already happened. Two million years you've got and that's it. At the end of that time your race will be dead, gone and good riddance to you. Remember that, two million years!'' The crowd muttered to itself in annoyance. People as rich as they had suddenly become shouldn't be obliged to listen to this sort of gibberish. Perhaps they could tip the fellow a leaf or two and he would go away. They didn't need to bother. Ford was already stalking out of the clearing, pausing only to shake his head at Number Two who was already firing his Kill-O-Zap gun into some neighbouring trees.
