the clydesdale dilemma: 4:19

ok
i found another one

i feel like
there is a moral imperative
it would be my ethical duty to kill the clydesdale
in order to save all the political prisoners
i should do that
but
i would not

i love horses
and especially those large workhorse type horses
like when i was in kentucky
i went to some horse thing
i can't remember what it was called
and i had like a moment
with a percheron
whose name
strangely
turned out to be dan
i'm not making this shit up

i had like a connection with this horse
not in some kind of creepy way
but it was intense

i look at a pretty lythe horse
and i think
i might hurt it
but i look at a clydesdale or a percheron
and i think
we could go somewhere you and me
let's get out of here

political prisoners should be freed
but to set up a situation where someone is freed
by the death of another
is not a legitimate way to go about things
and
i could not make myself kill a horse
by kicking it to death
even if
i could accomplish it in the time frame
which is 20 minutes
so
use whichever justification you prefer

i'm not doing it
i'll just go to hell
for not saving the people
because i can't see them
and
the horse
is right here looking at me
