"Ali hate"..... what's the point??

[Bill Paxtom]

Ali not going off to fight in an immoral, barbaric war was one of the positive things about him. People have no duty to be machine gun fodder for government. Barbaric, immoral conquests to perpetuate a war machine. Good on Ali for not playing ball.

Ali was a draft dodger. We all know Islamics have no qualms about war.

Every person has the right to resist what they believe is wrong. Ali had a choice and he made it. Ali was against war, not for it. No rational person is for war.

Cassius Clay was {Age; 22} in 1964 when he started 'chirping'.

Vietnam was 'only' a minor conflict at the time. The Vietnam Conflict had absolutely
nothing to do with Cassius Clay's {original} decision in late-1964 {correct period of time}.

Cassius Clay {just flat out} did not want to be 'drafted' into the United States Army.

When the United States Selective Service came knocking >

He {Cassius} felt that he was 'special' at the time.

This is a 'direct' statement from Cassius Clay.

"They {United States Selective Service} want a Clay in the Army. Well, I'll give them one.
My brother Rudy will go for me. That should keep 'them' happy."

"I'm making too much money to go into the Army. They just want my money and my new
car {Pinkish-Red Cadillac}. And I'm supposed to go to Hollywood to make a Motion Picture.
They are trying to ruin my life. They don't want me to be famous."
