I'd almost wonder why you didn't push the Klanswoman off to begin with.

I would save the physicist. My actions aren't killing the woman, I am choosing who to save. We often choose to help family before community, community before country, and country before foreign countries. I find no immorality in this.

Well...

Actually, the Klanswoman is evil, and so even though she may think she's going to Heaven, in actuality she'd go to face justice instead... And face it, looking at Adolph Hitler's resume without knowing his name, you'd see a decorated war hero and artist. Sounds admirable, huh?

Although, it might be good for the Klanswoman to be saved by a Black, Spanish-speaking half-Arab homosexual Hindu (for example) I dunno if she'd be able to draw any useful conclusions from it.

Chances are best with the physicist.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
