Thanks to the OP and to isacvale for your reply. It was interesting to look up and read through the Wikipedia of the Trolley Problem

While the problem is well known and has been debated at length for many years it's actually a very simple thought experiment that is used to justify doing something distasteful or evil.

Let me explain,

Voting IS the trolley problem on a massive scale. People are convinced that they must choose between two negative outcomes and if they don't choose and the worst outcome occurs then they are at fault for not choosing (voting).

This problem can be and has been modified many ways but is always about forcing you to choose.

The correct answer is, whether your actions are evil or good is determined by how you justify your actions not by the question.

I can and will justify my refusal to pull the lever (vote). You may be convinced that I'm allowing 5 people to die, I'm convinced that only fools who trust Government to protect them would stand on the track.

Thanks for refreshing my memory of this time honored argument.
