A Natural Inspiration by Ben Knobel
Just for a moment, can we all jump ahead, say one or two years from now, into what could be a very real scenario. The draft has been reinstated. Our sons and daughters are faced with the choice of going to war or jail. Parents are in shock. They can’t believe this has happened to their very own. Shock turns to anger and confusion. Their former lack of concern and awareness of their government’s imperialistic agenda is starting to become the biggest mistake of their lives. They had been reassured that no draft was needed nor wanted and without a deep distrust of all that is the state, there was no reason not to believe the argument. The frustration and anger causes rebellion, even among those who would never have considered such a thing. The rebellion is intense and widespread. Martial law is declared. You either do what you are told or fight.
