Default OT: Test to see where you stand Morally.

Test to see where 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.
No one else will know, so you wont be fooling anyone but yourself if you give anything but a truthful answer.
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 read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.
Here's 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 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. Suddenly you see a woman floundering 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, wife of the impeached President of the United States!! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under... forever.
You know that by giving a little assistance you can save the life of Mrs. Clinton, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women.
So 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?

Black and White for the dramatic aspect.

The camera would be already loaded with "high contrast color film" (whatever that is), I'd set the timer for 10 seconds and then dive in and get a picture of myself rescuing her undeserving ***. I'm an oportunist but I'm not going to watch someone die.

Easy choice. Snap a picture or two, then dive in and save her. Then take a few more pictures. After all, it only takes a second to take a picture. A second won't kill her...hopefully.

This is funny because it portrays Republicans as not valuing human life over material gains?

Perhaps, but I was thinking that they were targeting the photo-journalism crowd, and their personal gain based on the pain and suffering of others.

My answer would be that I could not choose. The film would all have been ruined while I was saving the drowning person.

But since the Party line and said point of view has been breached I guess I might have razzed her a little. My first comment to her might have been “Mrs. Clinton, how does it feel to be dependant upon a Republican to save your life?” And her answer would probably be related to the number of times she banged her head during the rescue.

As much as I dislike the coniving, back stabbing, political game playing "C" word biotch from the dark left side, I would save her. Ya ya ya I know the first rule of journalism, TAKE THE SHOT, but in this case, if I took the shot I would end up going to jail for the rest of my life because the evil democrats would have me charged with "failing to render assistance." Yet we all know that if the situation were reversed, and Hilary was on the bank and I was in the water, she would not lift a god damn [censored] finger to help me, and would most likely be awared the congression service award for it. I hate that biotch!
