It seems that often the people best qualified to criticize a system are those who refuse to be part of it. |
The question isn't participating in the system, the question is getting the benefits of the system.
Non-slaveholders don't get to complain that their laborers are too expensive. People who don't work at a corporation don't get to complain that they don't have corporate job security. Civilians don't get to complain that they never got the discipline of military training. Pacifists don't get to complain... um, OK, I can't come up with a benefit to war.
You don't get to refuse to say what you want, and then complain when you don't
get what you want.
