A Test in Ethics
Not sure if this should be inpolitics, but you can change the names
With all your honour and dignity -what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thinking... By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, but yet spontaneous. You're in Florida... in Miami, to be exact... There is a huge chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and all the flooding... There are huge masses of water all over you.... You are a CNN photographer...and you are in the middle of this great disaster ..... The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos... There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water... Nature is showing all its destroying power... and is ripping everything away with it... Suddenly you see a man floating by on a log... He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud... You move closer... Somehow the man looks familiar and, somehow, important... Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever... You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo... A photo displaying the death of a very powerful man... And here's the question: (Please give an honest answer) Will you take the photo in black and white, or colour?

Color... and then save him. There are very few people I can think of that I wouldn't save (living people that is). Even those I totally disagree with. Heck, your saving that person might make them rethink their positions on issues...

I wouldn't vote for him, but I would save him.

hah, I'd take it in digital, then give copies to everyone in 50 different versions of B/W, and in color.
And i'd save him..but darnit, i'd hate to get my new digital camera wet, and darnit, this one is too light to throw at him to make sure he dies, sooo, i guess i'd jump in and save him, but afterwards, i'd kick him in the nuts

Color... you can always turn it into black and white but it's awful hard to turn it into color. But in all realaty if there was somthing I could do to save him I would.
