17 year old has friend shoot him to avoid coming draft (Vanity)

I've looked around for the story about the kid in New Haven,CT who had his friend shoot him so he could avoid the draft he was told is coming. Heard it on Paul Harvey and found News of the Weird references to it, but can't find the original story any where. I'd like to know more and who told him this BS. I know they don't learn much in school any more , but damn.

"the "man in the blue turban" is the 3rd anti-christ according to Nostradamus."

I'll have to keep an eye out for the man in the blue turban. I think I may have spotted him already, driving a cab. He's a good, fast driver but I wished I'd known this additional information when I was calculating the tip.

How do you get links to show up in posts, I need a little help figuring this out as I am almost computer illiterate.

The question I have to ask is?

1. was the guy that got shot the one trying to avoid, or;
2. the shooter by becoming a felon.

Yes--Charles Rangel. The idea is Vote Dem so the war goes away and there will be no need for a draft...so who proposes a draft? The Dems! (Saying that too many
minority, poor, blacks wind up volunteering instead of the "fortune sons").

There's a lot of misinformation out there. My son got into a discussion at school, and another 12 year old told him that "George Bush is going to draft kids as young as 13 years old". The dims will stop at nothing to get control, even if it means brainwashing middle schoolers.

MTV Rock the Vote crowd is telling the young people they register that the President is about to reinstate the draft and they will be going to war.

you just type the URL and it should show up...in most cases. Sometimes you may need to do the HTML bit with
<a href = "URL etc. but when I put the URL into my last post, it showed up and was clickable.

Friend of mine in National Guard. When his unit was called to go to Iraq during Bush One, his wife told me he was considering shooting his foot. She was more hysterical about his going to Iraq than shooting himself. I have had very little respect for either of them all these years.

His unit was called again this Oct, but during physical doctors found an agressive cancer. Outlook not good. Still have no respect for him, but wouldn't wish his disease on anyone. Odd set of circumstances.

An idea right out of a book on the senior H.S. summer reading list: A Prayer for Owen Meany.

Who is the man in the blue turban?

A long dead French guy once wrote some junk.
Some crackpots believe he was accurately describing
a future in which a blue turban wearing rag started a hugh war.

Nothing to be taken series.
