I do not have a problem with people expressing their views and objecting to policies of the government that they disagree with. What I have a problem with is people who do not stand on their principles and only use their objections to their advantage or when it suits them. I do not have a problem with the true consciences objector that stands by his principle and accepts the alternative that society has ruled i.e.; go to jail. I do not have a problem with the person who uses civil disobedience and demonstrates to support their principles as long as they are willing to accept the consequences that society and the rule of law have deemed appropriate. I have a problem with the person who finds fault with war, any war can be found to have fault, only when it might effect them.

If a person is willing to take what a country offers, both the good and bad and live with both, I have no problem with that. If they only want to take the good and not give back by serving when their country calls or by standing on their true principles and trying to effect change even if that causes them a personal sacrifice, I do not think they deserve to live in that country and should move elsewhere.

Back on the subject, I expressed my objections to luathas position that "people in Nashville do not report their income" and "work under the table". And it appeared to me that he condoned that behavior and was enquirering to see if he could do the same thing is Belize and he would be moving their to keep his daughter from serving her country or at least remaining and standing on her principles, if those were her principles. I disagree with both those reasons to come to Belize and in a way I believe I am doing him a favor by saying so. If he comes with that attitude, he is in for difficult times and will possibly suffer legal consequences more sever than the ones he is running away from in the US. And not to be so presumptive as to suggest what he might do, but I have seen others with similar attitudes that the first phone call they make when they get in trouble is to the US Embassy.
