I literally thought of this yesterday.

"Hold up. Why have I been put in this situation? Where's those responsible? Has anyone gone after the bridge guy, the brakes guy? Is anyone trying to get the sick fucks tying people down on tracks? What's being put in place to prevent this? Fences?Cameras? E-brakes? Who has liability and are they getting investigated?"

"Just Shutup and choose."

"I guess B is most logical."

"Oooh, you're a sick murderer and just want people dead!"

It's hard to participate when most people only have an A/B, us/them, left/right, right/wrong mentality view on things when it's obviously more complex when viewed from a few steps back. It's being stuck in either yard or on the fence, but if you climb a tree you'll realise there's many more yards and fences to the street to consider.

Enough with that! You can't question the trolley situation, it's been like this for generations. Get on board. We have flags!

Your last paragraph is so good - thanks

I rather think you're missing the point.

Well, that doesn't mean I can't share something I thought of the other day before seeing this reminder :)
