The clock ticks away on the wall and the months pass by on the calendar. The nation moves forward towards an inevitable decision. On a time appointed, millions of people will step before a box and there they will be presented with two vials of poison. One is a known quantity and the other is unknown. Both have equally deadly consequences. To take the known poison, is to embrace more of the toxin that is currently running through the veins of government. To take the other vial, is to possibly receive a new kind of death that is even more dramatic than the first, though there is a small chance that you might live through it. So the question is, which kind of political poison do you prefer?
