[DanPanther]

Would we have time to run back and lay 5 Esteban's on the tracks ?

Most viable...they could make really great guitars out of the scrap left over...besides, that sinker guitar that was saved, is theirs, too, and would be even more valuable, after the disaster...

What is Ethical Dilemma #2?

No ethical dilemma, they are all just things, objects. (Says the guy who just waited two years for a custom build...) A life, human or animal, would be a different story.

Funny, these results are about the same results that are given when the original trolley problem was asked involving human lives.

"In many years of surveys, the vast majority of people — usually about 90% — have chosen to kill"

Personally this is how i look at the trolley problem. You are responsible whether the 5 are hit by the train, or if you divert the train to the 1. if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Do we get to keep the guitars we save?
Then I save the 4
If not,
then it would be a realy cool thing to film it and post it on youtube - In slow motion, with some realy cool train music.
IT would become so popular that I would get sponsers. Then I would make enough money to buy any guitar I wanted.

All in good fun MC. After all, most of us are really proud of you for finally figuring out what a rosette is.

Cheers,

or......


You could choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill,
You could choose a path that's clear - you could choose freewill.
