Enjoy your bed, you made it

With President Obama’s first order for an illegal death squad in Pakistan or an air strike in Afghanistan or retaliation in Iraq resulting in an innocent person losing his or her life you will become a murderer for your vote. Your sanction. Your transference of responsibility. Your abdication.
Your educations, your values, your ethics: smoke. History has taught you nothing. The lesser of two evils remains evil. You take to the yoke like ducklings to water.
There are other parties. There were other candidates. There were clean options. You will be a murderer, maybe within hours, for what you chose and for thinking one tradename of imperialism could possibly be better than another when all things are measured accurately, monochromatically.
