A Short Test of Your Moral Character (Borrowed)

Subject: A Short Test of Your Moral Character

A TEST OF CHARACTER

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 read slowly and give due
consideration to each line.


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.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for
his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move
closer . . . somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is.
It's George W. Bush!! At the same time you notice that the
raging waters are about to take him under, forever. You have two
options--you can save the life of G. W. Bush, or you can shoot a
dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one
of the world's most powerful men.


Now I know this is tacky and I'm a terrible person for sending it to
you, but here's the question. Please give an honest answer:
