what would you do?

Parshat Ki Tisa

This weeks question for the shabbos table might be:

When Aharion helped them create the golden calf, even though he tried to delay, did he do the right thing or should he have refused?

Had he refused they likely would have killed him, but maybe sometimes one needs to take a stand. Maybe if he was forceful enough he could have been persuasive and maybe they would not have killed him. Later when Moshe talks with him about it we see AHaron making excuses - you know how bad the people are, etc... - maybe he felt guilty and ashamed because he knows he should have refused?
