The 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.


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 fury.



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 women (in her mind, at least).



NOW 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?

“Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."--Barry Goldwater

If we give the government the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.” —Ronald Reagan
