There's a famous saying, six of one, half dozen of the other.

Here's part of a Johnny Bond song from the 50s with that line.

I was over to my gal's house the other night, so after supper I says, maybe let's go out for a while.

Would you like to take a walk for the river or have a little spin in my hot rod? And she says, oh, it don't matter. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. And I says, you ought not to always say that. And she says, why? And I says, he always say it so much. I got the six of one hat A dozen of the other blue

You get the gist

Six and a half dozen are the same thing

Therefore, when presented with two equally good options

As in the song,

It might make no difference to the person making the choice

They'd be having fun doing either

On the

other hand, when presented with two equally bad choices, it might also make no difference

to the person making the choice, because sometimes there is no lesser of two evils, but instead,

two things that are both fraught with peril. And so, in such cases, like the singer in the song,

the chooser has the six of one, half dozen of the other blues. In the Amanda Lewis case,

Amanda was presented with two sets of such horrible choices. With one of them, we know that she'd be

free today if she had picked the other option. With the other one, we'll never know, but it might have put the wheels in motion for something that will soon set her free.
