This is not an argument.
It's a one-sided diatribe, and I'm on the wrong side.
It's not a traffic stop.
But I'm sure you'd make a pretty good cop.
This is not a photograph.
We never advertise, just cut them down to size.
These are your rules of engagement:
Shoot first, ask questions later.
It's never just black and white.
But that's all you see.
Talk minus action is still zero.
We won't allow another witch hunt here,
So check your math, don't go off half-cocked.
Your mouth is loaded and locked.
