True enough. There is a profound distinction, though, between the
actions of those noble individuals who have risked imprisonment by
engaging in civil disobedience for the purpose of furthering social
justice, and the actions of those ubiquitous, self-absorbed leadfoots
who risk their own lives and the lives of those around them for the sole
purpose of getting there 2 seconds faster.

If we're talking about freedom and liberty, then people don't have to
leave just because they disagree. This country was also founded on a
tradition of dissent. And you have to admit, it is a quirky little
world in which we don't have to obey laws which we dislike, but in which
we must expatriate if we disagree with you.
