Here is the deal, you find a genie bottle, but the genie is in a very sour mood. You get one wish only, and it is only a choice of two wishes. Your choices are as follows:

A. You can receive $10,000 but the moment you do either both of the Koch Brothers or Bill and Hillary Clinton will receive $1 million dollars. It will go to the parties in the most opposite of your political beliefs. (ie: if you are liberal the Kochs will get it.)

B. You can receive $100 but the same parties listed above LOSE $10 million.

Discuss.

Though the choice is obvious, when given the choice in real life half the population did and does not take it. Why?
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Genies do not exist.
