27. Fuck that. I don't recognize the right of the jailor to jail me.
And I'd have no conflict of conscience in doing anything I could to avoid being wrongfully imprisoned for standing up for what I believe to be morally right.

Very much a similar philosophy to Daniel Berrigan if you remember him at all. Who avoided federal authorites for a long while as he poped up randomly to speak out against the vietnam war before disappearing into hiding again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Berrigan

"Berrigan was arrested and was sentenced to three years in prison, but he refused to serve his time. Instead, he went underground, living discreetly among like-minded individuals. The FBI, to its great embarrassment, was not immediately able to apprehend Berrigan, although he frequently showed up briefly at public events, made impromptu speeches, and went back into hiding. During this time Berrigan was also interviewed for a documentary titled "The Holy Outlaw," by Lee Lockwood."

Though it should be noted that...

"Eventually, the FBI managed to find and arrest Berrigan. He was released from prison in 1972."
