Heres a nice little story for you to think about: VIA The Poison Kitchen

Imagine two bus drivers. One is waiting to take over the other’s shift.

The current driver changes the route because he thinks he knows how to get to the destination in the best possible way. The second bus driver has qualms but believes the person driving the bus should have the discretion to change the route if it is necessary. The current driver then makes a sharp turn and starts driving up an off-ramp into oncoming traffic despite the screams of the passengers. Things do not go well.

The second bus driver suggests that it might have been a mistake to have recklessly driven into the traffic. “It was the wrong turn,” he says, “into the wrong exit.” As well, the second driver suggests that –having already driven into the wrong lane– it would then be a mistake to abandon the scene and not try to help those hurt in the “accident.”

I wonder, is the second bus driver really being inconsistent?
