Descripción del artículo del vendedor

191 p.; 22.5 cm. Select bibliography, p. 185-88; index of names and subjects, p. 189-90; index of leading cases, p. 191 `In the United States we have tried to institutionalize the right to dissent through the first amendment. When this does not suffice, we pass from the problem of the dissenter to that of the prophet--the man who is willing to break the law rather than participate in what he feels is morally wrong. Underlying his position is the principle "my conscience right or wrong, my conscience"--a principle every bit as dangerous as "my country right or wrong, my country." The conscientious legislator is thus faced with a cruel dilemma. Will he vote against selective objection (thereby stoning our prophets) or risk the apotheosis of autonomous conscience by supporting it? There is, as I have already suggested, a way out of the dilemma. He could support SCO on grounds of national interest rather than the rights of conscience, but my personal opinion is that such reasoning would fall on deaf ears today. Perhaps I take too seriously the rhetoric of those who see the [Vietnam] war as merely a "symptom" of much deeper problems in our society--fascism, racism, imperialism, etc. I think their analysis is mistaken, but I am convinced they believe what they say. For this reason my personal opinion is that the wise legislator should not vote for selective objection at this point in our history. Given the present level of public debate on Vietnam, I do not think SCO would be handled in a responsible manner. I would therefore invoke the principle of "the lesser evil" to justify the painful course of stoning our prophets not and building our monuments in happier times.' (p. 183f.)
