The Draft: Revisited
Unfortunately, Siberia is not that huge reserve, and Canadian heavy oil and tar sands need 3 barrels of oil in order to extract 4. Not a big deal.
Mexico reserves are mostly offshore, and they need a lot of money to be recovered... and nobody dares to spent that money unless he's very sure the amount is huge. It's a catch 22.
If you're interested on the topic, there's a good board here:

The Draft: Revisited
Hi,
Heres my prediction for this whole Iraq situation. Okay the first that is going to happen is Korea will not give up its Nuclear weapons program which will lead the United States to leave them alone for another year or so....Iraq will be fully taken over and America will put in a new goverment after signing a oil deal leading to america to bathe in middle east oil and the economy will keep rising for United States... United States will continue its terrorist campaign to disarm Iran and all start a war over there this will lead to America to have a draft in which the people will not like this because all the troops will be doing is getting killed and being considered heroes... Americans will resist the draft and end up taking up arms towards the goverment and its officials while the followers of Bush will end up fighting for bush.... This will lead to a great civil war that will last a couple of years.. A new administration will be put into power and as for Iran america will end up backing out of the Middle East all together due to the Civil War back home.... Shortly after this long civil war Iran and some other middle east countries will think America is weak from their civil war they had and try to take over America... the alliance will consist of most Middle East countries and Russia China Korea Japan in a attemp to take out the allies United States, Canada, UK, a few europe countries and Australia oh and Mexico to I dont think Iam forgettting anything this will become known as WW 4.... The main reason behind this war is a lack of political structure in America and rights over the remaining cheap oil in the middle east...
this is what I predict for the next few years to come
now I dont expect this to happen and it would be good if it doesnt
hehe its the imagination of a 17 year old kid
peace to all,
Snakey

Yo....
It really doesn't matter ppl.
Yes, we can dig deeper for oil, yes we can go to other countries, and yes we can look all over hell and back for this precious black substance...but the truth of it is this....IT WILL RUN OUT. The future of it is that we NEED to find an alternate remedy to this situation. There are inventors out there who do in fact find solutions to this dilemna...unfortunately they are bought out by the major oil companies. These companies want to keep a tight reign on thier products....it gives them reason to buy the real inovators off. (IMO) "The Man" is always in it ppl, and "They" will always keep ya down, just to plummet your hopes for a nice "utopia". I think that it will take us all getting out of our cars, do the "Battlefield Earth" thing and ride horses, and embrace these new forms of technology. In the end..it boils down to this.........If you want to see the change, then take the first step to achieve it...(IMO) Buy a bike and peddle your butt off to get it done.

Current view on the draft.
I was in Air Force jr ROTC for 4 years. Since, I was a kid all I wanted to do was be a spy or a soldier or something. Well, after 4 years of that. (Which was a great time, and I did learn a lot about my country and my government.) I said there was no way in hell i'd be shipped to some desert, and die on non us soil over some silly conflict between a bunch of suits in Washington. Then 9.11! I had a very strange emotional reaction that day. I started off very afraid. It was ingrained in my head that something like this could never happened in this country. Then, I became very excited I felt alive. I'm not glad or happy or joyful about what happened, I just felt alive. I had many friends join the military. Then, they all asked me why I wasn't joining it. Here is my answer to them. "I will defend American Soil, that's it!" If I die fighting I will die on my soil. I had a few friends tell me to join the national guard, but look they are even gone now. (Which scares me if they are gone who is here to protect us...)
So, my plan for the draft. I'm a caver, so I know plenty of hidden save places. I'd pack my bags bring a gun, and hide out with a small radio. (Would have to go to the outside every once and awhile.) But, most of the cave are hidden in woods so it's all good. Now, If i hear that the "bad guys" have started to land here, I would be up in arms and collect my friend, and find a safe place to weather the battles.

A warning to parents with high school aged children. I had to spilt it up into two posts because of size, I guess. Got some kind of "stack overload" message. In fact, the last part of the article couldn't be loaded, because of this. So I'd suggest if you want to see the whole thing, go to the link below.

Re: The Draft: Revisited
Yup, Cary....There ya have it, another slice of the cake of lies that is also known as <span style='color:blue'>\"The Man\". Ya know, it really doesn't surprise me that this is goin down. I think parents need to be more in touch with these so called \"Standardized Tests\". I mean honestly, how many parents actually get to see what's on these tests? Not many that's for sure; and if you could see what's on them, would ya let your kids take it? And these tests are to determine if your kid may or may not get drafted into a war of politics? See that's \"The Man \" for ya in classic form. </span>
I also feel ya about the duping of children to fight a fight which (as we have all seen) continues to rage on. The point i'm tryin to make here is that these decisions by our leaders are not nessecary. We as free people have the right to choose our path, just as our forefathers have. I don't think a test for govt. staus or drafting, should determine what children should do with thier current lives or in the upcoming years.

Re: The Draft: Revisited
Funny, when I was in high school and decided to take the test I needed a parental consent form and there was a ton of reading material available. We took the test in the cafeteria and the rest of the school continued on with what they were doing. Hell, I actually missed my classes that day and had to make up class work...what happened to change that? Of course, my husband's school did something similar to this article, so maybe my school was just the odd ball out.
