both choices suck.

I don't know how many times I hear this. It's constant. I get the idea behind it... there isn't a clear-cut amazing choice that is perfect. 

That's true. I don't like those situations either. 

But, "sucks" is a relative word that doesn't mean a whole lot on its own. 

Burnt broccoli sucks. 
Nuclear waste also sucks. 

Compared to nuclear waste, burnt broccoli is actually pretty amazing.
In fact, I would eat the broccoli and it might even benefit me a little, even though it "sucks". 

I'm all for "the best". But when "the best" isn't available, can we stop settling for nuclear waste?
