A refuge for reflection during the twilight of the West . . . but also to rage against the dying of the light.

A Modest Proposal Regarding Women In The Military
The federal government has announced that all combat roles in the military are now open to women. This is wonderful news and marks only the beginning of righting a historical wrong. To make up for the many years during which women have been denied access to the military generally and these roles specifically, it strikes me that women should take men's place in the Selective Service for drafting. After all, it's extremely unfair that men rather than women register for a draft. The rationale of affirmative action, when applied here, requires nothing less than for men to be replaced as draftees for at least the next 150 years (since the draft first started during the War Between The States and was cruelly limited to men). Who says I'm not forward thinking?
