History has repeatedly shown that everybody is expendable, from the no rights non citizen slave all the way up to Emperors or modern era presidents.
If you saw two people drowning, but you could only save one, would it be the 80 yr old or the 5 yr old?
I’d probably die tryin’ to save em’ both.


I think that it would be the smarter move to save one life for sure than to potentially lose three lives.

Joe Delaney was in a similar situation. He failed to save two children and drowned himself, good intentions, failed execution.

It is clear that you and I approach challenges from very different directions and probably from very different levels of experience and/or training.
