To Shoot or to Vote

To vote, or to shoot: that is the question. . . whether 'tis nobler, in a swarm of political troubles, to suffer the slings and nooses of outrageous insurrection, or take action against a wave of magamaniae, and by opposing, transcend them. To vote no more , and by that lapse to end, the democracy and the thousand Constitutional rights that Americans are heir to; 'tis an Amendment sadly to be tossed out. To mail-in votes, or to shoot, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub: for in that Constitutional clash what dreams may come. . . when we have shuffled off this mortal MAGA mess - there's the rub that makes calamity of so long a Republic's life.

There's a second amendment and a fifteenth amendmentFor who would bear the guns and votes of time? the Jan6 throng, or the mail-in working democrats? 2nd amendment guns, or 15th amendment votes : that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler to lock and load our gun rights, or to allow mail-in ballots so working folk can vote on Tuesdays when they have to go to work . . . or both, to keep everybody happy. . . that is the question. I mean, if Jan6 insurrectionists can be pardoned for their violent attack against our Congress, then surely working folk can be pardoned, by Congressional law, from their jobs, for an hour, or perchance to vote by mail. . . to go to the polls on election day! To shoot, or to vote: that is the question. Glass half-full
