You've been carjacked by someone driving 120 mph toward a cliff...
.....50 feet away from said cliff, he jumps out of the car.

If that car goes over the cliff, it's your fault, right?

This is the essence of the Republican argument.

4. Of course it is, mkultra
I mean he had a full fifty feet to jump into the driver's seat and bring the car from 120mph to a stop. Clearly it's his fault. His life insurance should have to pay for the injuries sustained by the driver, and for his brand new car.
