Hello Michael99,
Oh come on now...
That woman didn't decide between the lives of humans and ducks as you imply.
You're right. In the moment she didn't. What I said was a very generalized philosophical portrayal. I don't think for a moment she was thinking of a choice between people and ducks. That is my real problem with what she did.
I've been in Montreal traffic on highways at all times of the day. Just Like the highways in and around many other large or busy cosmopolitan cities drivers practically never give anyone a break. They charge through at the slightest opportunity. It's the same around Montreal. Don't you think she's been around enough even at her age to know that and realize how dangerous it could be for even a cautious person. Who of us would ever just stop and get out with the door open in the high speed lane with traffic. No one. It's an invitation to the hospital or the morgue. Yet despite the fact it barely takes a brain cell to know the danger, she just stops the car and gets out for ducks thoughtlessly without consideration of her life or that of others. What kind of mindset has developed in a person that would allow anyone to do that??? What kind of consciousness or lack of is in her psyche to fail to consider and register the danger instantly in her mind??? It's freaking scary.
Happened just past the signs... after the exit where the median is a few feet to the left of the yellow line and there is obviously nowhere to park a car.
Incredibly stupid place to stop your car...
It's a scenario in which anyone should have instantly realized without thinking about it that stopping there is nuts. Yet she did it anyway. :crazy:
On the surface she made the choice between human lives and ducks, but in reality she was too disconnected from the reality of what she was doing or she wouldn't have. There's the problem. She saw ducks and simply stopped in dangerous traffic, got out risking lives, hers and others with seemingly no consciousness of the risks of her actions. She needs to be put away for a while; prison, counseling, psyche ward. One way or another she should not be allowed out in the world until she can learn to think responsibly enough to know the choice she made and be able to recognize the danger.
Choice was made its the results that count in this case ! Sadly

The circumstances and it's results prove she's not competent to be out in my opinion.
