I immediately thought, "Kill the baby." No hesitation.

I happen to agree with you on morality being fuzzy and inconsistent. I'm definitely not a utilitarian. I don't approve of policies of torture, for example. It's just that the village obviously matters more than a goddamn baby. The trolley problem, being more abstract, is more confusing to me.
