A question of ethics

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 your
answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.


THE SITUATION:

You are in Miami, Florida. There is chaos all around you
caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical
proportions. You are a photo-journalist working for a major newspaper,
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.


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 and she looks familiar. You suddenly realize 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 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?
No earth robot is going to tell ME which button to press!!

    Black and white first, then color when it is over signifying a new brighter future. I would then hire a team of little people to sing "the wicked witch is dead" song in the background.

    Black and white, she's scary enough with makeup on.

    Eh, I'd pull her out of the water and say "Oh, it's you" and then push her back in and then take some nice B&W pics if I wasn't maniacally laughing so hard as to ruin the picture.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I would pull her out, take a picture, and sell it to the Equirer
    as "Hillary Enters Wet T-Shirt Contest". Why not have it both ways?


    P.S.
    I don't hate her, just her politics! This would save her life, But kill her run at office.
    Or would it?

    I disagree, she is one of those people who not only has loathesome politics, but seems to be a genuinely awful human being on top of it. Even if I agreed with her politics (God help me) I wouldn't vote for her because not a thing about her is real or genuine, and she legitimately seems soulless, evil and cruel to me.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Are you saying she is the antichrist?

    She is very focused on the result and willing to run over the top of anyone via any method possible. Unfortunately, this has become the norm for all the modern politicians. Remember guys like
    Ford who was known to work well with both parties?

    But back on subject. I WON'T let my views demonize anyone. Once you start
    down that path, anything is acceptable. Difference of opinion is just that.
    Doesn't mean the other guy is stupid or evil. Or even wrong.

    To quote the commercial on TV, "I didn't say I wouldn't go fishing with the man, all
    I'm saying is if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall."
    That is modern politics.

    She did that with her non-answers at the latest debate allowing Obama and the other guy to take her apart at the seams.

    Yeah right, unfortunately she's still way ahead in the polls as far as the Dem core goes (ie the ones that actually vote in primaries).
