I also remember the draft lottery drawing. Sitting on the couch of the KA
house watching the numbers being drawn. As a veteran going to school on the GI
Bill, my perspective was a little different from those awaiting the news.
There is a part of me that feels mandatory service to your country might not be
a
bad idea. Please note that I didn't say "Military Service" but just service,
although I would trade my military service. My idea will probably be
discounted when I say that I also believe everyone should file a tax return and
pay
income tax. These two are just part of the price one pays to enjoy the
benefits of living in their country. Mine happens to be the US, but I imagine
folks
elsewhere are not particularly excited about someone taking a "free ride".

both a nice Bronica and Nikon system. Bill Barber
