If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

Every election we complain about not liking either Presidential candidate.

OF COURSE THAT’S GONNA HAPPEN!!! The only person any of us agree with completely is ourselves. Every person that is not “me” will fall short of my expectations for a presidential leader. That is part of life. That is part of every relationship and choice of servitude. There are problems I have with my Church, my roommates, any boss that I choose to work for, my pastor, etc… The thing is, however, we choose for a reason. Our choice is never between the perfect and imperfect. It’s between very imperfect people and institutions. Our responsibility is to decide which imperfections are least detrimental to our own personal views.

That is what annoys me about people who refuse to vote. If they don’t want to have to chose between the best of two evils how do they make any decision in life? We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people and we base our decisions on imperfect evidence and reasoning. That is a fact of life. We change what we can, and we deal with what we can’t. Avoiding an issue because you cannot find a perfect solution is arrogant and lazy.
