Yesterday, we discussed the philosophical implications of having Batgirl, Johan Santana, and George Steinbrenner stuck in a lifeboat. The following exchange occurred, and Batgirl found it quite stimulating.

From Public Enemy Mike:

Dear Batgirl

What if we removed Mr Steinbrenner and replaced him with Mr Pohlad. How would Batgirl handle that situation ?

p.e.m.

From YankeeFan (soon to be a father):

and PEM, Batgirl would not have a chance to "handle" the situation if it were Pohlad. Pohlad would immediately drown BG and Santana and keep any supplies for himself. When rescued, he'd toss the captain of the rescuing ship (as well as any passengers, stowaways, animals, cute and fuzzy bunnie) overboard and take the ship and its contents for himself. When asked to pay for the gasoline used for the voyage to save him, he'd likely respond "let the taxpayers pay for it."

Discuss.
