AlbertMohler.com – Women and Children First? A Tale of Two Ships

Not really political, but maybe falls under the category of "other controversies"

I thought it was an interesting read.

But more is at play here, for the two sinkings were notably different in one crucial respect. The Titanic took hours to sink, leaving time for a remarkable human drama on board the sinking ship. The Lusitania sank in just eighteen minutes, leaving far less of a human trace in the imagination.

I wrote in some blog about how in my youth, I would have been willing to die for my fellow man, given the right circumstances. If I had a chance to save a busload of passengers (for example) by sacrificing my own life, I would have done so. Nowadays I don't think I would. My life has become more valuable to me, and I've become less noble. There's still a point where I'd sacrifice my life for others, but it would no longer be for a dozen others. It would be more like a hundred others. And even then I'd have to think about it.
