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.

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.

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:

We are talking about the President of the United States.
I'd throw him something useful.
Like a Anvil.

An anvil is too light! An anchor, maybe!
