Maybe you should.

But in fact I did register too.

I was attempting to be a bit sarcastic that you and I would never be looked at for jobs in the obama machine.

But I don’t consider that a loss.

And maybe it is just me, but just about every morning on my drive to WORK the radio stations are playing ads reminding of all the things young MEN lose by not registering for Selective Service.

Since I did register prior to my 18th birthday in 1979 I never gave it another thought and maybe they have been airing these ads for years but I haven’t chosen to hear them. But now they ring a VERY discordant chord.
