[Grovenet] Avoiding WAR (WAS: draft vs. volunteer)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I was joking about corruption in the USA. Where you have humans, there will
be corruption, dishonesty and all the other vices of humanity. 

Just remember, Steven, that it takes no intelligence at all to produce
reasons why something cannot be done. 

The world has survived people with your outlook. You've acted as an anchor
we can't haul aboard so we have to drag you around behind us, but the world
makes progress anyway.

There are many countries with a good bit of corruption. Mexico, Middle 
East, Africa, UN.
Interesting how little we hear about corruption in Brittan.
