And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out.

kelpdiver 2 #10 December 23, 2006 There's no current chance in hell of the draft returning, but it's good to test the machinery. Look at the trouble we've seen with voting machines in the past few elections. If the US ever does reimplement a fair draft process, it wouldn't do to have the same numbers of irregularities that would be used to get the next generation of Bush children out of it. Test before you need it, while hoping it is never needed. True for nukes, true for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
