hehehe . . . possibly.
It just saddens me that the new generation voters haven't learned from our past, and bothered to do the research into the issues in this election, like the draft. It was the Democrats who drafted the new draft resolution and brought it up for a vote, and then voted against it, and then accused the President of trying to reinstate the draft. I think just hearing Kerry mention that word would push people away from him since it is such an obvious ploy.
I agree. They're impressionable at an early college age too, so it's too bad. Rangel started talking about a draft as early as late 2002, if I recall. All a person had to have been doing was paying attention.
I think, though, higher ed is changing a bit in that it's becoming more business and task oriented and less about the arts - it's unfortunate to lose that or any facets of education, but if Marx and so forth go with it it's not all bad.
