So you would do the "right" thing and let them perish for the "greater good". Either you're really as despicable or you're not honest with yourself.

Honest really, let's look at honest, almost no victim is returned whether the money is paid or not that is reality. If everyone pays then where does it stop, if no one pays it becomes a worthless and risky proposition for any kidnapper. If I don't react for the "greater good" then what value does my loved ones life have, money? I as you would want to pay but this world isn't just about us, is it.

My personal response is irrelevant, the government should take the harshest measures possible to discourage it.

That use to be the death penalty and I personally believe it still should be.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
