He hasn't refused, he is fighting extradition in court. How can he have refused to submit to justice if he is taking part in court proceedings? Submitting to justice is not the same as doing whatever you are told, at least not since the est

Don't think that one is true of agriculture, at least not since the invention of the tractor, or possibly even the horse drawn plough. As for the others, you may have a point in some areas of medicine in the US, but in transport and utiliti
