This is a repost:
his 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.
=================================
THE SITUATION
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 all around you, some
disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
===============================================
THE TEST
Suddenly you see a man 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 George W. Bush, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful politicians.
===============================================
THE QUESTION
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?

James, most of our country votes with little or no thought (big surprise there!). Wyoming is the perfect example - upwards of 70% of voters selected Bush and other Republicans. Yet the state, which is woefully dependent on tourism and ranching, is being destroyed by federally subsidized mining companies who do little or nothing for the local/state economy and leave behind ruined land, salinated water supplies, and toxic dumps. But damn it, they dont' want anyone that supports abortion in the white house!

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Wednesday his advisers were telling conservatives about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' religious beliefs because they are interested in her background and "part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion."
"People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers," Bush told reporters at the White House. "They want to know Harriet Miers' background. They want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions. And part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion."
