if you get drafted, we go to war and you turn into a deserter you have three possible outcomes...life in prison, if you're in a warzone you can be shot on site, or say good bye to the states for the rest of you life...

Or You Can Become President Of the United States

Bill Clinton was in college, and was a scholor, they give you exempt from that. Just like George Bush was in the National Guard, they both were excused. Though Bill was the first president ever to never serve in the military, and Bush shortly followed (he never served a major branch, and is even finding it hard to prove he served in the Guard... lol), so it's a resent trend that goes back to the unpopularity of Vietnam.

I know most of you are under the age of 20, so going to war is scary as hell. But honestly, when you figure out the United States more, you realize exactly how little power you have over your life. I have known since I was a kid, because my father explained it to me. Life is basically people following the experiements of smarter, or more powerful people. Just look at pop culture, we live in a society that what is on TV, and what the media says is popular, we believe. We fall to what is shown on TV. We are told reality TV is great, because TV tells us. Someone once came up with the idea of reality TV, and we like sheep followed it, and now it's the biggest thing, and it's cheaper than hiring actors because these people just want to be on TV, get there 15 minutes and begone. If you look at the news, they tell you how bad and evil it is out there. They show you pictures of war, of killings, of death and destruction. I am surprised on a WESTCOAST HIP-HOP BOARD, everyone thinks the riots were stupit. But TV will have you believe it. Shit, listen to old school westcoast rap before 1992, you knew the riots were coming, and afterwards, you heard why. Shit, maybe it's because I only lived an hour from L.A. that I caught the message. We are slaves to a box, and we are slaves to our president thanks to the Patriot Act. We have no control over our lives. If they call your number, yeah you are going to war, but honestly, it makes more sense to go to war, than to continue a war against the whole U.S. culture. But we still live in the United States. If they do have a draft, and they happen to call my number, I don't plan on moving, I am not no deserter, I really don't give a fuck about going to war, because at onetime I feared getting shot just taking the trash out because of certain situations, and I really don't like prison cloths. They are not going to give forgiveness to the people that ditch this war like they did Vietnam, and honestly, I don't want my arm broken. Though I would rather join the Peace Core than they Marine Core, if they call my number, what else am I going to do. Honestly, I'm voting for Kerry, and see what happens, and let the rest of the United States decide what they want to do with me. Well see.
