Ep. 2: Getting a Little Drafty in Here

Author: The Driver June 28, 2019 Duration: 22:00

Can you pay for your freedom?  

Can you substitute service through taxes? 

 Is it unfair or immoral to pay someone to go to war for us and fight the fights we rather not? 

If the soldiers don't show up, will the war ever?  

In this episode I muse over the draft and whether Americans should bring it back in order to prevent unwanted wars and require responsibilities for the rights we enjoy?  

I references the book by Justice: What's the Right thing to Do by Micheal Sandel. Check it out here. It was a good read.

Every week, before the sun comes up, The Driver hits the road. That quiet, mobile space becomes the recording studio for 400thoughts, a project born from the rhythm of the daily commute. The premise is straightforward but ambitious: four hundred episodes, delivered weekly, each one a snapshot of whatever ideas, curiosities, or observations happen to be occupying his mind. You won’t find a rigid schedule of topics here. Instead, this podcast meanders through society and culture, reflecting the host’s own shifting interests-a deep dive into a documentary one week, a reflection on a community trend the next, or a simple musing on the changing landscape seen from the driver’s window. It’s the audio equivalent of a long, winding conversation with a thoughtful friend who’s done a lot of reading and even more thinking. The result is an intimate and unpredictable collection, united more by a genuine sense of curiosity than by a single theme. Tune in for a dose of unscripted perspective, where each episode is a brief, companionable detour into the random thoughts of a random person, all while the miles roll by.
