As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“It may not be a perfect system, but it’s still the best one there is.”
My Commentary: The False Dichotomy: presenting the masses with the illusion of choice since at least 16,000 BC!
Remember: by definition, the lesser of two evils is STILL evil!
The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family…
“I know you were only doing 2 mph over, but if I don’t write 100 of these tickets a month, I will be fired.”
Genaire: Must be quota time in NJ. The highway state pigs – oops, I mean “troopers” – are out in force fucking with people.
Terrence B.: Oh stop it! They got too work too. Smh! If not idiots would be dropping the needle then what? Lol
Rayn: They’re “just following orders,” right? SMH! During the Nuremberg trials, the Nazis attempted that EXACT defense strategy, yet the international community staunchly REJECTED it as PURE FALLACY! http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nuremberg_defense
QUOTAS were already established as UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the American court system. Therefore, if an officer is given “orders” to engage in such criminal activity, it is his DUTY as a CITIZEN FIRST, to REFUSE, and then FILE A COMPLAINT against his superior! Attempting to claim job security as an excuse for violating our civil rights is just a pathologically pathetic EXCUSE for TYRANNY!!!
