Morality Test...
Lets test your morality with a little dilemma........

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 thought. 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, yet spontaneous. Please scroll
down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work
accurately.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on
around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods.

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 destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, 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.

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 unique photo displaying the
death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question (please give an honest answer):
















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

1. I would definitely save him.
Rather see him go down in shame and digrace through impeachment then down in a flood.

2. Go with color.
Most papers go for color photos for the front page. Or better yet, use a digital camera for best quality.Many Papers are using computer tinplates for publication.

7. Can't hold him to the promises afterwards
Contracts, oral or written, entered into under duress are not legally enforceable.

The quintessential example given in my business law class is if you offer a man dying of thirst in the desert a bottle of water, in exchange for everything he owns.

He can reneg on the contract, and the court will side with him.

9. Trust me, color film is the best way to go!
No Having to keep him at his word! Do you realize that making him keep his promise would become a full time job? No one in there right mind wants to be around a snake in the grass that long!

11. I go for black and white
Repukes can only see black and white, and I want them to see how their kind (ie evil) ends up
