I hate the time change. Tell me, why can't we keep Daylight Savings Time all year long? What is so wrong with having an extra hour of daylight in the winter?
US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...

You're right, Anonymous, no one would remember the plague of the "time change" in 10 years. In our MTV society, people can barely remember what happened a week ago much less 10 years ago! ;o)
2006 time change was no easier for me this year either. Seems to throw my whole system out of whack. Hibernation time, maybe?
