I'm sorry, Firenze, but how could you choose to save an animal, no matter how precious, over a human being? I know that you are a nurse and a caregiver and I am stunned that you would "run into a burning building" for your cat but not your neighbor's kid. Those two world views don't seem to jive with one another.


Oh, no, I meant if I could only save one. If any child, or adult for that matter, needs saving, I'll give it a try. In that case I'd be the one whom the authorities would give a ticket for going back into the building.

I was speaking of a scenario used some months ago. In that case a child and a cat (your car) are in the middle of the highway with a Kenwood fast approaching. You have time to save only one... In the other instance I meant that we all do what's second nature to us, so if we're driving and have to swerve, which way do we KNOW we'd swerve. I'd certainly let the possum have it, but I don't know about the cat--again in this one we're talking gut reaction, not something planned.
