I was always puzzled why someone did not do this paper sooner.
Males holding low lottery numbers became more antiwar, more liberal, and more Democratic in their voting compared to those whose high numbers protected them from the draft. They were also more likely than those with safe numbers to abandon the party identification that they had held as teenagers. Trace effects are found in reinterviews from the 1990s.

Hi there, simply changed into alert to your weblog through Google, and found that
it is really informative. I am going to watch out for brussels.
I will appreciate for those who continue this in future.
Many people might be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Your article, as well as Erikson and Stoker’s present evidence on the link between exposure to violence and political participation for men, and you noted in your conclusion that it may not apply to women or girls. But in SWAY research information was also gathered on female youth–do you know how differently exposure to violence effects females’ participation in politics? The comparison would be really interesting. Perhaps the differences aren’t significant, but if they are, it seems important to maintain the distinctions and not generalize in any discussion of the links between witnessing violence and political participation.
Wow, that is kinda brutal.
