Liberalism is the universalmoral solvent.

It will dissolve any morality it comes into contact with.

Is it therefore not moral to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them? (Wm S must have known liberals...and hopefully...he ended them.)

The actual lines go like this:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ‘tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them:

Apparently there is scholarly dispute as to the meaning of the ‘take Arms’ line i.e. does taking up arms lead to one’s death or is one committing suicide. I favor the latter interpretation but I’m no Shakespeare scholar.

BTW I really liked your universal moral solvent line.
