The difference between refusing to pay taxes and quitting college is the degree of consequence, not the moral implications. You said earlier that it's hypocritical to support a military institution if you are against the military. Now you're saying that it's OK to support the military against your conscience if the consequence is federal jail. Well, try as you might, you can't really prescribe your moral judgements to all people. Even thought it might not be so cut-and-dry for you, some people have different morals.
I don't know what person keeps pointing all these fingers you're talking about, and which anti-war protester it was that chose to alienate people who want to bear arms, but it sure as hell wasn't me. You talk as if all anti-war protesters are the same person with the same beliefs. I don't know how many people from SAW you've actually met, but they're all individuals, with different opinions and morals concerning every issue... believe it or not. However convenient it might be to picture them all as PC robots, most of them actually are human!
If it's against your 'morals' to debate arguments that you don't want to hear, then don't. Just don't pretend like I have any love for the UC.
