conscientious objectors

I think conscientious objectors are great. I would like it even better if there were no wars for them to dissent from in the first place. That said, I am grateful to them for the stand that they make. I think they add a unique character to the peace movement.
There are a couple of conscientious objectors, Jeremy Hinzman and Brandon Hughey, applying for refugee status up here in Canada right now. Prime Minister Paul Martin has said that his government is willing to accept conscientious objectors.

Jeremy and Brandon both have websitges to which you can go, learn more about their reasons, and offer support. I would strongly encourage you to check them out.
