The military draft, forced conscription, is gone.
The boys are still required to register for the draft. They can still be drafted but now they can be placed under a UN commander.
Income taxes are now lower.
How much have they cut spending?
The estate tax is dead.
You are an optimist. Don't count your money until it's in the bank. The estate tax is promised to expire in 2010 -- unless the Dems gain control of Congress or unless the Republicans continue their march towards Big Government.

Segregation is gone.
Replaced with affirmative action programs and their new surrogates. Coming soon: reparations for slavery via class action suits.
I'm hitting the sack. Good night. You have the last word.

I'd love to hear you tell me again how you are "trying" to be an optimist...
