As the title suggests. I will do what my country asks of me but I won't like it.
Rep Charles Rangel may be currect, that if we want to finish Iraq, Fight Iran & Korea then yes we will need a draft. I have to ask the big question. WHY do we have to fight Iran and Korea? What the hell did they do, other than Anti-American sentament & Nuclear Proliferation. I agree that they shouldn't have the power, but why should we for that matter?
I don't like a draft but oh well if it happens I will serve.
Check out this article from CNN.

Taser not so Safe?
Read this article from In These Times titled: Stunning Revelations
It's a rather good article concerning the use of Taser non-lethal devices in varied situations. I have to agree that the officers did what they needed to do but I think we need to stop marketing a product that could kill people in any situation or physical condition. And actually give it a title close to semi-lethal or something of that nature. I really don't know. If someone could enlighten me that would be great or find an article that says the other side, something to do with officer's lifes saved.

District of Columbia
This is actually something I think we as a country have not looked into, its important. Yes I know some would say that statehood for DC isnt an important issue but this would be one of the spears in the Democrats war chest that could be brought out and say...We did this for THE PEOPLE!

Stem Cells
2 out of 3 voters favor stem cell research. This is a sad statistic, which would tell you that we are living in a time when our government is not or does not hold the same values as we do. I should say that President Bush doesn’t, but what can you expect from someone who has not driven a car or bought groceries in the last well, which knows how many years.
The idea that, by vetoing the bill you save embryos from being destroyed. There is one little problem with this concept, THOSE EMBROYS WERE MARKED TO BE DESTROYED. I am sorry but some presidents are idiots or rather the people that help them are.
On July 8th in a CNN.com article Bush was sited for wanting to urge more science research funding:
The proposal is part of Bush's initiative to boost U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace through innovation. He also wants to train thousands of new science and math teachers and extend a popular tax credit businesses can receive for investing in research and development. The total price tag over 10 years would be $136 billion.
All right, so which kind of scientific research do you want to fund here. I mean if we want to stay on top of EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD then we need to be conducting research into stem cells you not so smart president.
But my bad I guess all we are good at is selling out our children.
Stem cell research could help not only certain major ailments but also restore sight, damaged nervous systems, and spinal injuries.
The thing about stem cells is that they can turn into any of 220 different types of cells, which means they can adapt and fix problems.
How would that help us? I don’t know, just think grandma might be able to remember her grandchildren’s faces, the soldier that is in the hospital from Iraq with a spinal injury could walk again, and people that lose their sight in a workplace accident could see again.
WOW and you do not want to fund that project because you want to save embryos from being destroyed that were already going to be destroyed. GREAT LOGIC.
