You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?
Up the airy mountain
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting,
For fear of little men;
--William Allingham
1. Two little girls in your neighborhood disappear and are never found.
2. The government mandates that all children under the age of 18 get GPS tracking implants.

Scenario 1 is obviously very sad. However, scenario 2, which plays to the fears of a paranoid, safety-obsessed culture, is plain creepy, and therefore I must prevent it for the sake of all of humanity.
#1 would be more personal. I don't like #2 but I fear #1 more (esp since there's a possibility one of the two girls could be my daughter). I prevent #1.
My Capchta word is "upsies"
I want to say that I would prevent #2. I feel like I should say #2 but in all honesty it would be #1. I am the mother of two girls. I cringe when I think of the possibility of them being missing. The thought of any child being missing makes me sick to my stomach.
