| To fight, or not to fight - that is the question..... |
|
To fight, or not to fight: 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?
.
.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?
Wm. Shakespeare
Hamlet Act III, Scene 1
(Pardon me for the change from "to be or not to be"...)

"For the dignity of our nation; and for the dignity of ourselves; and for the memory of those who struggled before us, we must choose to fight."

To not fight is to give up!
To give up is to let fascism take over in the form of a Theocratic Fascist state.
We can't allow that to happen.

| 7. Shalom Hamlet is my favorite from Shakepeare |
|
These lines have gone through my head over and over since Nov 5th or so
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?
Fight. It's definitely time to fight.

I thought these lines actually matched what's happening right now:
the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns...
