Pick your poison, I mean President.

You are told you are being given a choice of three poisons. You may choose only one.

There is no doubt that two of the three choices will be horrible. The third option may be just as bad, or it may not.  

The poisons are so powerful that the one you pick will affect your life and the lives of your children. Maybe even your grandchildren.

The decision has to be made in a moment, but only after a long series of factual investigations, comparisons, television commercials, and the inevitably slanted articles about the choices.

But just the two awful alternatives are thoroughly investigated. And none of the information about them makes either appear a lesser evil. They are both undeniably distasteful.

The third is not unknown, but it is not so intensely reviewed as the others.

If you take this third choice, you may end up as injured as with one of the others, but, unlike the others, there is a chance that this option will not hurt you; and it may even help—for a long time.  

What do you do?
