Choices?

“You can have any color you want as long as it's black”

Would you choose to die by firing squad or rather be hung?

Nauseous? Would you like a meal or a snack?

Would you vote for Hitler or Mao Tse Tung?

From Satan or the mafia would you prefer to borrow?

Water from the tap, or tap water from a bottle? You can choose

Do you want to pay today or more tomorrow?

Fox or CNN news?

You are free to walk anywhere to the end of your chain

but true freedom is only in the head

Would you choose pain or to be insane?

One is truly free only when one is dead

Author's Note

The quote is from Henry Ford about his model T. In the state of Utah, some years ago, the condemned was able to choose his form of execution, hanging or firing squad.

The choices are not always good...they create that dilemma...
But I will take anything over Fox news, thank you very much.
and firing squad would probably be quicker...
Yes, such a sad state eh? only free when we are dead.

Well, moderate that I am, either/or choices make me cringe. In terms of efficiency, Hitler couldn't hold a candle to Mao, whose sixty million deaths made Adolf's twelve million seem like small change. When Gary Gilmore chose the firing squad, I heard a lot of Utah men volunteered. And if I had to choose between Fox and CNN, I'd volunteer to go uninformed.

So true John. It is exactly this either or choice that gets to me too. Pay taxes or not, it's heaven or hell (not that I believe it) Thanks so much for the read and in-depth analysis. I appreciate it John.

I feel I am far away from this world. The world of peace.
