Don't worry yet. The site you posted was just a parody.

5. Although this IS listed on the homepage of The Selective Service website:

Notwithstanding recent stories in the news media and on the Internet, Selective Service is not getting ready to conduct a draft for the U.S. Armed Forces -- either with a special skills or regular draft. Rather, the Agency remains prepared to manage a draft if and when the President and the Congress so direct. This responsibility has been ongoing since 1980 and is nothing new. Further, both the President and the Secretary of Defense have stated on more than one occasion that there is no need for a draft for the War on Terrorism or any likely contingency, such as Iraq. Additionally, the Congress has not acted on any proposed legislation to reinstate a draft. Therefore, Selective Service continues to refine its plans to be prepared as is required by law, and to register young men who are ages 18 through 25.

6. Jeebus criminy people.
I KNOW it's just a parody. See, the thing is that YOU don't know it's a parody until you actually go to the site, thereby adding to the humorous punch when YOU also realize that it's a parody. I could read it out loud to my dog and he'd know it was a parody. I guess I appreciate the kind words, folks, but I'm not terminally freakin' retarded. :)
