3. LOL at the people who don't think they're average.

4. I chose #3 as a statement of willful corporate media culpability in the dumbing down
of the American People combined with an underfunded public education system where history, geography, political science, economics, science, math and critical thinking have been given short shrift.

Should these dynamics continue, I fear our nation will rot from the inside as corrupted, incompetence aided by, the self-serving oligarchs will eventually run the nation in to the ground.

I would like to make clear, that in spite of my choice this represents no relinquishment whatsoever as to the American People's fundamental, inalienable right to make those decisions. Rather, those dysfunctional, cancerous conditions listed in my first paragraph need to be healed with the utmost urgency.
