We live in silly political times. Not to say there aren’t any number of important, urgent, life-altering matters our political leaders should take up, legislate, and implement (as some do), but too often, FAR too often, political time and energy is spent on petty, partisan piffle that ultimately makes the participants look like idiots and contributes mightily to their reputation as the most “do nothing Congress in history.” That’s because, instead of staying focused on issues of true importance to the country-at-large, our Congressional leaders would rather do things like vote for the 40th time to repeal Obamacare (a futile effort meant only for show) and, as of late, pump up a campaign to get young people to reject the healthcare reform by boycotting health-insurance exchanges by… burning their “Obamacare Draft Card.”

You say you didn’t know there was an Obamacare Draft Card? THAT’S BECAUSE THERE ISN’T!!

Colbert dealt with it beautifully:

Last I heard, the genuine Selective Service Act was still law, but not enforced much. Young men were still supposed to REGISTER at 18. Dunno if the SSA actually issued them military-type "draft" cards, or if they were still required to actually carry them, but I'd guess that those laws are still on the books.

from Wikipedia

Quote:



Most male U.S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 are required by law to have registered within 30 days of their 18th birthdays[2][3] and must notify Selective Service within ten days of any changes to any of the information they provided on their registration cards, like a change of address.[4



That seems to be current-- there are cards,but you fill 'em out & send 'em in, they don't send YOU one. Doesn't say you have to carry it, like you used to have to.
