Canadian interviewer asks Baez what she thinks of "draft dodgers," and she replies:
Not much, really. I think they should stay here and go to jail — I mean instead of running away. I know it isn’t good for me to say it, being a female (and therefore not eligible for the draft) but I think anything other than going to jail is being a cop-out.

No one is willing to go to jail and confess what he had done. I think problem is everywhere, so let us be easy.
