When election time comes around I often hear a phrase that causes me to shudder with disgust, "We have to vote for the lesser of two evils."
This kind of thinking is not only ridiculous it is downright dangerous to free people in a free society. Let's look at it this way: If a drug dealer approached you and offered you either heroine or cocaine, which would you choose? What if you were offered a taste of either strychnine or arsenic, which one would you choose? How about you give me either $10 or $100? In these examples, which choices are the lesser of two evils? If offered heroine or cocaine I would choose kale. Strychnine or arsenic?... I'd go for a walk in the woods. Give $10 or $100?... some would say $10 is obviously the lesser of two evils. On the contrary, how about paying $0 or better yet dancing an Irish jig?
My point is, we always have the right to choose whatever we want. We are not forced to only choose what is presented in front of us. So please, please, please, this next election vote for someone you believe in (whoever that may be) not just the LESSER OF TWO EVILS. And get people to stop saying that. Voting for someone you don't want to get rid of someone you don't want just makes no sense.
