Weight

Who should get to decide what is more important than something else? It certainly shouldn't be up to me to choose whether someone goes or misses out; or whether someone else's 30 dollars goes to waste.

It's supposed to snow 5-8 inches by morning. I have a trip to E. Lansing planned with four passengers in my old, but never failing, Monte. We wouldn't get home until after midnight with perfect road conditions. Who makes the call that it's not a good idea and 150 bucks become a waste and 5 seats go unfilled? The driver? Is it my responsibility to ensure everyone's health, or am I being selfish and just not wanting to concentrate all my energy on snow covered, but drivable, roads for hours this evening.

Is it more important to go, and provide a ride, and fill a seat or to stay home, in my warm house, out of danger while the snow falls outside, leaving four others rideless?

How does it weigh out?
