“I didn’t sign up for this.”
“You signed up to keep the peace. That’s what we’re doing.”
“What we’re doing is betraying everything our country stands for.”
“Don’t we stand for tolerance?”
There’s a roar, further up the road. They can’t see her wings or tail yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
“We stand for truth and justice too. It’s not tolerance to accept everything, even the stuff that’ll destroy you.”
“The death rate is minimal so far.”
“So far.”
“Maybe you’re right, maybe this is a mistake. You did sign up for this.”
“Maybe I’ll change that.”
