    Southie I never said nobody owns me. I just posted that the whole concept of ''ownership'' of ones life is more complex then it seems at first glance. In fact I'm leaning towards the part that you don't own yourself, because you're responsible to others and others are affected by the consequences of your actions.

    No, it does not follow that we definitely would require a draft. That is one solution. Another is for the national leadership to ask Americans to join.
