I happen to believe that the latter is the lesser of two evils.
If you disagree, you are free to choose the former.

Sadly, that statement has frequently been used out of its original context, usually by big-government leftists that enjoy living off the fruit of other peoples' labor.

But that would be murder...

That has to be the singular most mind-numbingly idiotic dumb-ass comment I have seen in my 8 years of signed up plus 1 year of lurking time in this forum. Essentially, if you don't believe in high taxes, then you choose death? You did notice it says 'and', not 'or'. Maybe, if we build enough choo-choos with taxes, we can achieve immortality! Holy crap! Is that your reason for your obsession? I always thought you approached this topic with religious fervor. Public rail is the fountain of youth! Choose Amtrak and live forever!
