“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777

Endorsement
After thinking about my choices, I have decided that I am done with half measures. I am always voting for the lesser of two evils, and we seem to keep heading for the cliff. In light of this, I am just going to vote to get it over with.
Almost EVERY decision we make in the real world is a choice between lesser and greater evils (incrementally better and worse alternatives): the food we eat, the work we do, the car we drive and the women we spend time with. I can't understand why all of a sudden when it comes to voting people seem to think they must insist on idealistic perfection.
I don't get it (the acronym).
