my money to a third party that is trusted, or any method that will insure
safety for both of us. If you agree to the bet, I will send first (money
order, cashiers check or whatever works). The third party will let you know
the funds are there and when they recieve your money the bet is on. Lets see
how confident you really are in your new president.

Count me in.

We don't need anyone to hold the money, these posts are archived on Google.
All we have to do is wait until the Presidents term expires, go back to
Google and bring the posts back up out of the archives. Then we can make the
arrangements for you to pay me.

Some people in their ignorance like to set up their newsreader so their
posts will not be to be retrieved by Google. They thinks this will keep
their posts from making it into Google. The problem is if one person
responds to the post it will then be archived in Google and can easy be
retrieved.

John, you sound pretty confident. I wouldn't be that confident if we were
talking about no draft until his first term expires.
Dixon

I'm in. Let me know where you want the $$ sent to.

However, we must be CLEAR on the definition of "draft". I've tangled with
my share of politically motivated folks over the years and I want a friggin'
definition of what YOU mean by "draft" posted here for all to see (cut,
save).

Don't forget. Kerry was the one talking about "adding" to the troops.....I
dont see how that would be possible without a draft.

Don, I agree with you 100%. I also don't want to see, after the fact,
someone else's "definition" of draft. I suppose anything other than
volunteer? That leaves me vulnerable to giant sign-up incentives or other
types of semi-forced enticement I guess. We should all try to be fair. I
also don't want to hear about some new future reason that you will say "but
he no choice but to reinstate the draft". I don't want this to be like the
seinfeld episode where jerry bets kramer that he won't install multi levels
in his apartment. Afterwards kramer decides he really doesn't want levels
and says the bet is off.

What would your definition be?
