[mod.politics] moving to another country if you don't agree

sappho@SRI-NIC.ARPA (08/10/86)

Why should Keith move to another country or resist the law if he
considers taxation theft?  What is wrong with his staying in this
country and trying to persuade his fellow citizens of his views?
Why should he have to risk going to jail for them in order to argue
for them?  And what other country should he go to?  There is no
country in the world with a libertarian system of government.  I
am not sure if there is any that comes any closer to libertarianism
than ours; there certainly aren't many.  As a pacifist, I have gotten
very tired of hearing people say, when I object to some military
intervention, that people with my views should leave the country,
so I don't like to hear that kind of argument directed at other
people either.
