In the post sitting below I asked, "What would you do?" The two situations are moral dilemmas that force one to make gut wrenching decisions. But let's add a twist, shall we?
My Diva girlfriends and I went out tonight for cocktails and small talk, and we chanc'd to discuss in the order of no importance 1) fashion, 2) our nails, 3) moral dilemmas, 4) Cheney's dick, and 5) Jane Austen.
Like the well trained private school girls we are, we created our own moral dilemma, which I would like to share with you.
Scenario Three:
In another version of this dilemma, a sixth person is standing beside you on the embankment. His name is Dick Cheney. The only way to stop the train, and save the lives of the five people on the track, is for you to push Dick down onto the track. By pushing him in front of the train and so killing him, you will slow it down enough to save the others. Should you push him?
Here are your choices. Now think carefully:

push the slimy bastard

of course i push the slimy bastard, thus becoming an instant heroine-to-the-nation . . . :-)
