Little Hawk: "I am reminded of those old puzzles, like: You're driving down a narrow mountain road. You come around a hairpin turn. There's a child on the road. There's a truck out of control coming right at you the other way. There's a cliff. Do you - turn right and go off the cliff to save the child? Do you - go left and pile headon into the truck or the rock wall? Do you hit the brakes, slide into the child and probably the truck too and kill everybody? Etc..etc...etc..."
It's a no-win situation, like the Kobyashi Maru, Better ask your mate James T how to handle it
