A quick ethics test...

Got this e-mail from my mom...How would you answer?



A Quick Ethics Test
What would you do???
This is a quick ethics test!

This test only has one question, but it's a very
important one. By giving an
honest answer, you will discover where you stand
morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional
situation in which you
will have to make a decision. Remember that your
answer needs to be honest,
yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give
due consideration to
each line.

You are in Florida...Miami to be specific. There is
chaos all around you
caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is
a flood of biblical
proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a
major newspaper and
you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.
The situation is nearly
hopeless.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There
are houses and people
swirling around you, some disappearing under the
water. Nature is unleashing
all of its destructive fury. Suddenly you see a man
floundering in the
water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be
taken down with the
debris. You move closer . Somehow the man looks
familiar. You suddenly
realize who it is.

It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice
that the raging waters are
about to take him under ... forever. You have two
options...you can save the
life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic
Pulitzer Prize winning photo,
documenting the death of one of the world's most
powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest
answer:

Would you select high contrast color film, or would
you go with the classic
simplicity of black and white?

1. I laugh when I see this one

because right now, I personally would have loved to see a pic of GWB floating in the levees in NO.

I think I would stick with black and white. It's so much more dramatic.

2. Answer

Considering the waters are about to take him under, I'd use whatever was in my camera at the moment. I doubt I'd have time to choose and load film before he went under.

3. Damn.

I know I'd be too busy quaking with laughter to shoot straight.

4. I think I have finally snapped...

Sometimes I just can't stop myself, so last night I e-mailed this to my freeper/fundie in-laws, my freeper brother and every other freeptard I know. I have lost the ability to smile and nod when they praise bushco. and I refuse to apologize for it:evilgrin:

6. So what did they say?

5. That is so rude.

We are talking about the President of the United States.

I'd throw him something useful.

Like a Anvil.

7. I wouldn't do that!

An anvil is too light! An anchor, maybe!

8. As Carville once said

"When your enemy is drowning, throw the motherfucker an anchor".

9. Neither because my precious Nikon would be broken....

...across that bastard's head... hell, he could have my bicycle as a life preserver too! :patriot:

[liberaltrucker]

10. So.....use an old Kodak Brownie

No big loss either way:hi:

[chknltl]

11. It's ok....

....I have 2, I'd use the old one, it is heavier! Been meaning to replace it with a digital one anyway.
