What, we don't have time to fix the Y2K problem but we _do_ have time to
build a whole new bureaucracy to mobilize the nation? Of course, the new
draft agency would have to be Y2K compliant so they can track down and
punish draft dodgers...
I guess it wouldn't do any good to skip off to Canada because _they'd_
probably draft you, too.
