A Test Of Your Ethics

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. It features a hypothetical situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
You're in Miami, amid the chaos of a severe hurricane and flood. You're a CNN photographer, trying to capture the houses and people floating around you disappearing into the water. You see a man, close by, fighting for his life, trying not to be swept away. The man looks familiar, somehow, and important. Suddenly you know who it is; it's George W. Bush. And 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.
You can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo. A photo displaying the death of a very powerful man...
And here's the question: (think before you reply and please give an honest answer, as best as you are able): Will you make the photo black and white or color?

I would save him if I could. The same goes for anybody.

Gee Mac, I didn't know your reading and comprehension skills were lacking...
The question is what type of picture would you take? Color or Black and White.
There were Boy Scouts ready to earn their Life Saving merit badge...

I know I'd reach in and save the bastard
but I'd kick him in the teeth accidentally while doing it
and YOU would probably do the same thing
.
Doesn't it hurt to know that?

If all you guys, presumably Americans, feel that way about your President why did you vote for him in the first place?
Personally I favour Hilary.

I voted for him, he was much better than the Democrat (sp). But it still was the choose of the lesser of two evils.

Actually, Gore received MORE votes than Bush in the nation-wide election. Bush was named the winner by the U.S. Supreme Court based on contested results in the state of Florida. Later evidence seems to indicate that Gore actually won the most votes in Florida and should be president.

Robby,
I do not want to throw a monkey wrench in the fun gears here, but these posts if taken as threats could get this place in a lot of trouble.
I know that you all are kidding, right?
