Imaginary situation: A man is before a firing squad. His captor steps forward.

“Do you wish to be killed with blue bullets or with pink bullets?”

The man responds, “I choose neither.”

His captor says, “But if you do not choose the blue bullets, then you will be shot with the pink ones.”

“I choose neither.”

Those in the crowd begin to murmur, “That fool is opting to be shot with pink bullets! How stupid! He is insane!”

What about us today? Will we choose the blue bullets or the pink bullets? I choose neither.

“Do you wish to be killed with blue bullets or with pink bullets?”

My analogy is similar:

"We are the government and we intend on enslaving you"

Do you wish to be enslaved by a master with a harsh lash or a master with a softer lash?

I choose to be free.
