Sometimes it is simply best to back-off ....to count the cost when the cards are stacked against you !
the expression" never pee into the wind" also makes sense in this situation . ....

I would pull the lever as the train moves over the switch, creating a void in the tracks that would cause the train to derail before it switched. Well, at least I tried to find a way to save them all. If it fails, then someone will die anyway.

Ok, the train has no passengers....you obviously work for the rail line you are on the platform see the train coming....you are too far to warn the
people of the on coming danger all you have is the leaver....and a choice.....
the train remember will automatically hit the 3 people no way around it.....unless you pull the leaver.....whether the one guy on the safe track yells
or not who knows.....

3 Stupid people are on an unsafe train track..1 Smart person is on a safe train track.....Should I kill 1 smart person,so 3 stupid people can live?....The 3 stupid people will probably find another way to kill themselves,if they live......Let them all live or die,by the choices they have made.............................OUTLAW
