Default A Morality 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.


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 around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive furor.


THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You have two options:

You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful and brilliant women.

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?*

C. None of the above.

I hope I never see Hillary in office, but I'd save her life. After all, the man upstairs is watching.

I was in my car on the highway when I ran into a huge back-up..miles long. There were helicopters overhead and police cars screaming by on the shoulder. A group came running down and was stopping at every car...breathlessly they ran to mine..

"George Bush's motorcade has been overtaken by terrorists. They are demanding $10 Million dollars ransom or they will set it on fire and everyone will burn alive. We are taking up contributions"

I asked how much other cars had given?



"A gallon or two"

ouch....

I might save Hilliary, but that's a stretch. Those two guys on ther other hand I would just snap a few pictures of, and call it a day.

Did I have nice shoes on and was there somewhere to place my wallet (those ID's are a pain to replace)? But really I'd save her and at the press conference I would ask people not to vote for her.

Of course I'd save her. And then parlay my heroism into a high paying assistant flunky post in the Clinton dynasty.

Wowzer! These responses are too funny! Thanks all.
Now I'm wonderin' what Dubbya is giving Scotty McC (his former press secretary) for Christmas. Perhaps he has something nice for the guy that stated Georgie Shrub lied us into war. I also wonder what Dicky Cheney is going to give to the lovely Valerie Plame.
I DO know what Dubbya is giving his big boned daughter, Jenna. Hint: it looks like it's made of chocolate, fourteen inches long, and it vibrates.
Whoopie!!! Hot times under the Christmas tree!

Which would be great until you committed "suicide"

Ouch! Okay, the truth is, I think Hillary would make a competent prez, and I might even vote for her if she gets the nom, but you've got to admit that stuff like filegate and whitewater makes for ample material for sarcastic humor.

In the interest of equal representation, here's a couple of pictures that always makes me laugh (the latter, sadly, is undoctored):
