Vote On My Life

"So my recent poll on what I should give up for lent ended in a tie between 'a) soda' and 'b) all discretionary expenditures'. Now what? A couple people had suggested that I should just pick one of the two; of course, for me to do so would be to tacitly accept the failure of VOML's citizenry, which I refuse to do, but equally important: if I were able to make this kind of decision in the first place, I wouldn't have need a poll to begin with. So, I've decide to put it to a second vote, obviously, with the same two options, but will also include a third: Chris had an interesting comment, quoted in option 'c)' which, in the absence of any other suggested calculus, seemed well-reasoned enough for me.

Of course, as aforementioned, we are well into the 40 days towards the Easter deadline, but as I mentioned, I'll commit to a 40 days count nonetheless beginning at the closure of this poll."
