Would you rather...

The game "Would you rather" is often played at parties, lunch tables, or anywhere where boredom is a factor. The game is played by offering two scenarios; usually both egregiously bad or both wonderful. The point of the game is to make a tough decision and choose one. There is no other option. While this game may seem trivial, it is a metaphor for existence.

As in the game, one often is faced with only two choices. Through trial and error, the human race has learned to usually choose the lesser of two evils. This is where the quandary arises. If everyone has differing points of view, how can large groups of people come to a consensus about these decisions. Imagine two huge groups arguing over what they would rather do, or have. What does this remind you of?

A presidential election? Whether or not to drop the bomb? All major decisions in history have just been games of "Would you rather"

I should probably take hide and go seek more seriously.
