That's the unwise part?

That's probably at least a distance of five to six feet. And not even in front of him.

If you think you only get a choice once every four years, that's part of the problem. There's elections every single year, many of which you have more choice and more power over.

Maybe if people showed up to vote more than once every four years we'd actually see some effective change.

To a degree. It will adapt only so far. If you give it more than it can handle on a regular basis you're doing more harm than good.

That's what you take issue with? That the analogy isn't completely perfect? Do you get the general idea of what I'm saying, or does that slight inconsistency complete negate the entire argument?

The point is that an average isn't indicative of overall health... it's just a value representing the average income. It makes no bearing on actual economic health without comparing it to other factors.

Which part? Can you explain your reasoning in a way that's not just "nuh-uh"?

As I understand it, an average is when you add together several quantities and then divide that total by the number of quantities. How does this in any way affect actual living wage (or grades, in my given example)?

Finally my years of learning to play Tongo pay off!

It's the episode where Tuvok turns out to be a triple agent for the Maquis, but only because he was brainwashed by a religious extremist.

My two cats prefer them. Even the new one we got (and need to replace) that keeps falling on top of one of them.
