Moral Dilemma

So where do you stand morally?

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.

THE SITUATION

You are in New Orleans 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 photo journalist 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.

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 the President, 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 the President, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer
Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most
famous men.

THE QUESTION

Here's the question

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

You've all missed the point completely...........

You are in a deprived US state....
There is a disaster going on......

Do you think you'd still be in posession of an expensive camera???

Is there any other kind in America???

Oh and in answer to the moral dilemma I would do the only sensible thing........................................swith to camcorder - a picture may paint a thousand words but for a screaming drowning president only DOLBY SURROUND SOUND will do.
