...better the chop-shop third-world hospital than bleeding to death on the street.
It took me a couple tries to parse that, for some reason.
Anyway, sorry, no, I don't think that it is better. I think it's exactly as bad. To expand on your analogy, "Hi, you may choose between bleeding to death on the sidewalk, or bleeding to death on a table."
I'll choose to live, thanks. :-)
I cannot in good conscience support the Democratic party, and I certainly can't support the Republican party. I am one of the millions of politically homeless Americans ... and I'm OK with that. The best that I can hope to do is live a good life, support good causes where I'm able, and not support ones that I disagree with. I'm not about to play the Game of Lesser Evils, because at the end of that road is a society even worse off than we are now.
Oh, and here's a gem from a few years back (April 21, 2004): When asked about her vote in favor of the Iraq Invasion, Hillary Clinton's response can best be summed up as, "Well, yeah, but I didn't think it would turn out like this! (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/21/iraq.hillary/)"
