The Flickrite features the Maundering Mutterer, a blogger who considers herself a "sucker for punishment"; hence, her interesting question of the week below...
A word player of "oddiments, eccentricities and speculations", the self-proclaimed mutterer shares her life and speaks or probably sings her heart out . . . with a strum of her guitar.
Let yourself be entertained with some well-written ramblings of this devoted daughter to an ailing mother at Maundering Mutterer.

Let yourself be entertained with some well-written ramblings of this devoted daughter to an ailing mother at Maundering Mutterer.
But first, consider this...
You are shown a room containing a captive. You are told that this person has done many terrible things.
You are shown a button and you're told that if you press it, that person will die.
If you don't press it, ten innocent people who you've never seen will die instead. It's up to you.
What will you do?
[ Siete indicato una stanza che contiene un prigioniero. Siete detto che questa persona ha fatto molte cose terribili. Siete indicato un tasto e un you' re detto quello se lo premete, quella persona morirà . Se voi don' pressa di t esso, dieci genti non colpevoli che you' la VE non veduta mai morirà preferibilmente. Dipende da voi.
Che cosa farete? ]

The modern dilemma is essentially a spiritual one; and every one of its main aspects:
moral, political and scientific, brings us back to the need of a religious solution.

• I would like to back to the week before Yahoo went public and know what I know now. Hee hee! ~Sweetstuff "Candy"
• About the question...I'm afraid but I dont' remember a time where people was living life in peace... And the world was as one... And all the people sharing all the world... And the world was living as one... So the time I would like to live :-) ~fabyd
• I would travel back to whatever era that movie Marie Antoinette was filmed in - just to see all of the amazing dresses :) ~Krystal
• I was going to answer the same as Krystal before I read her answer! I would love to be engulfed in yard of fabric and live in a simpler era like the 1700s. ~*Simply Colette*
• To the Dinosaur era. Just think of the photos :) ~Digimist Mtime
• I think I would go back to London in the mid 1800s… ~Couture Carrie
• Great question Keith. I think I'd have to travel back to the roaring 20's ~Tights Lover

• Who wouldn't like to travel back in time and with hind sight, redo things a better way. ~L Plater
• Well...before thinking of any place or age to travel to, I think we all need to first make one important journey to the place where many wouldn't dare go to...the subconscious...for some people it takes courage to do so but it is important for once we are there and have understood what is deeply buried we're capable of understanding our motives. What is after makes a difference in the way we'll see and appraise things and enjoy the trip suggested regarded of the when and where issues. ~Salwan Binni

ohhh, the flapper age is a good one!
I doubt 99% of all persons asked this question could give a realistic answer. Why? Because killing someone is probably the worst act imaginable. The majority of persons can bring no relevant experience to bear when coming up with an answer, so most responses will in the main be meaningless. As to applying the principles of utilitarianism, I'd hazard a guess and say the enormity of killing one person is probably equal to killing ten. There is no formula for moral action.
Hey Lancelonie
That is a very evocative pic! Must visit your flickr and have a proper look through. Should be arty. As for the question, I haven't an answer either. Maybe I'd feign some sort of a fit so that I could be absolved of all responsibility.
I'd probably say, "Oh I get it! I'm on candid camera!"
