&quot;An Editorial: Are Our Draft Laws Unfair?&quot;, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, unidentified episode<br>Featured in Pat Paulsen for President (1968), part 2 of 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbP0ufyax5A&amp;feature=relmfu, 02:42 ff (11:42 ff in full program)<br>Alternative version archived at &quot;Should Television Shows Be Censored?&quot; http://www.paulsen.com/censor.html, Paulsen.com, October 29, 1967 <br class="br">Context: A good many people today feel our present draft laws are unjust. These people are called soldiers. In one of the arguments against the draft, we hear it is unfair, immoral, discourages young men from studying, ruins their careers and their lives. Picky, picky, picky! We propose a draft lottery, in which the names of all eligible males will be put into a hat, and the men will be drafted according to their hat sizes. The tiny heads will go into the military service, and the fat heads will go into government.

“… let's all remember that we have a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people", and there are very few people in our government that you can't buy.”
