we had a JROTC and I can't remember recruiters bothering people all that long. maybe they'd show up maybe two days a year, not even very pushy. then again, this was before the Iraq War started.

The one thing that did get attention for recruiters was when they set up a machine in the cafeteria, and you could write down whatever on a slip of paper and they'll stamp that on a dog tag for you. my friends -- most of them in JROTC -- all joined in, getting obscene stuff printed because the recruiters didn't really look carefully.

give your military recruiters a valentine and their hearts will grow three sizes and they'll change their minds and leave.

MAKE LOVE NOT WAR

oh heh on wikipedia it said the WWII allies called themselves "the united nations" so technically they did stop Hitler.

declaring the UN a failure isn't that kind of throwing the baby out with the bath water? it's far from perfect but maybe people expect too much from it. i mean maybe we should declare the US Congress a failure for being so slow and ineffectual. replace those bickering politicians with an emperor who can get things done. it took a hundred years for them to finally end racial segregation, after a civil war they couldn't even prevent, because they were too weak to ban slavery. what a joke.
