We have to eat the M&Ms to know what is in them.
To be accurate, it should say the ten are actively poisoning all the others while you make up your mind.
Finding the 10 poison M&Ms is trivial with a sniffing dog or other chemical analysis equipment.
The next task is more difficult. There are 535 members of Congess and only 50 have not been bought by AIPAC. How do you decide which members of Congress to give the 10 poison M&Ms to?
The comparison itself is wrong, as it both doesn’t consider future consequences and it de-humanizes the problem.
Put it another way: you have 10.000 people at the gates in the middle of an plague outbreak. You can allow them in, but among them there will very likely be 10 diseased who are hiding the symptoms and who will soon kill 1.000 innocent, healthy citizens. Then there is another 100 who are possibly healthy carriers and might develop the full blown disease within a decade, or not. And then there is another 9.000 who aren’t carriers, but whose kids will have a much weaker immune system due their culture-stemming behaviors (which we cannot address else be whipped as racists) and quite possibly contract and spread the plague within 20 years.
What do you do?
