More politics...

Gotta say, hypocrisy always does suck.

And this link. I will make a longer post about it later. For now, let's just say that the marriage amendment isn't more important than this.

Question. Can a diagnosis of asperger's/autism disqualify you from compulsary service? It seems like an easier route than conscientiously objecting.

Not sure whether an autism-spectrum diagnosis can disqualify one from military service, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case... I need to do more research into that.

I have heard that having been on stimulants for ADHD in the past is grounds for rejection in the draft, and since I was on Ritalin a while back, that's nice to know...

I was wondering about this earlier - would my atrocious eyesight be bad enough to keep me out should conscription ever be reintroduced in this country. I dunno about the aspergers though. I'm sure 'traditional' autism would keep you out, but aspergers? Less sure.

Never have I been more glad that we're only nominally the 51st state...
