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 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 Nancy Pelosi! 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 Nancy Pelosi 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?"

Al, it's a lot easier for you to attack others than to defend the beliefs of those who think stimulus actually prevented a crisis from turning into a catastrophe.

Interesting...you spend a fair bit of your time taking pot shots at a president who has inherited the largest financial mess since the great depression and I am the one who is attacking others...is the view really that good from the cheap seats Tench?

Al

"Tax us into prosperity. Let's see how that works."

Seemed to work for Clinton. DJIA from 3,000 to 10,500...

What you guys NEVER get is that taxation, within a reasonable range, has little effect on the economy. We've been undertaxed for a long time. A government that shows fiscal sanity is much more stimulative that tax cuts. The lesson of the Clinton years..
