Moral Dilemna.

Just recieved this via Email. Thought it was worth a spin on here; Moral Dilemna ; 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 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, President of the United States!! 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. 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? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

Recieved this too; Clare Short MP is sponsoring a Private Members Bill in Parliament to restrict the Prime Minister’s power to go to war. Currently the Prime Minister, by using the ancient Royal Prerogative, can declare war and deploy troops without even seeking the consent of Parliament. We regard this as unacceptable and are campaigning to change this situation, by promoting a new law - the Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill. This would require a vote in Parliament and the legal justification for the proposed war to be made available. Clare Short, who came third in the recent Private Members’ Ballot in Parliament, has adopted the Bill, so we now have a great chance of getting this Bill onto the statute book. But we need your help. Our first hurdle is the Second Reading of the Bill, due on Friday 21st October We will need 100 MPs supporting the Bill to be present in Parliament, in order to move a ‘closure motion’ a resolution to end the debate. If we win such a vote 99-0 we will still lose, as the debate cannot close and the Bill may fall. It is vital that we get 100 MPs to this vote. Getting MPs in the House on a Friday is difficult: most return to their constituencies. We need to persuade them to stay at Westminster and it is constituents who can do that. So we do ask you please to: Write to your MP (at House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA) or find their email on the web as soon as possible (before s/he gets booked up with constituency appointments) saying that you want him/her to attend the House on Friday 21st October and vote to ensure that the Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Armed Conflict) Bill gets a second reading and seeking an assurance to this effect. You can send them a fax from your computer by going to: <a href="http://www.writetothem.com/">www.writetothem.com/</a> At the same time please ask your MP to sign Early Day Motion No. 85 in support of the Bill, entitled ‘Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict’ proposed by Neil Gerrard MP. Your MPs signature on this does at least show a commitment to the Bill - which will be vital as the campaign progresses. Please try to do this urgently and please mail me any replies that you receive, and will need to be able to see just how the campaign is progressing. Thank you. For ease and speed I have pasted below an email you could send to your MP. Warmest regards to all. Paul Greening, Chair - Waging Peace P.S. We are moving! As from next Monday our address will be: Waging Peace The Queensway Business Centre 32 Queensway London W2 3RX Tel: 020 7243 0300 Dear *******, Currently the Prime Minister, by using the ancient Royal Prerogative, can declare war and deploy troops without even seeking the consent of Parliament. This is unacceptable, and therefore I am fully backing the campaign led by Clare Short and supported by Charter88 to change this situation by promoting a new law - the Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill. This would require a vote in Parliament and the legal justification for the proposed war to be made available. As the MP for my area, I would ask that you support this Bill by being present at its Second Reading, due on Friday 21st October. I know MPs like to return to your constituencies at weekends but this is such an important issue that I beseech you to attend Parliament and vote for the Bill. As you know there must be 100 MPs supporting the Bill to be present in Parliament, in order to move a ‘closure motion’, a resolution to end the debate. I would like you to attend the House on Friday 21st October and vote to ensure that the Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Armed Conflict) Bill gets a second reading. At the same time please could you sign Early Day Motion No. 85 in support of the Bill, entitled ‘Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict’ proposed by Neil Gerrard MP. Your signature on this will show commitment to the Bill - which will be vital as the campaign progresses. I would be very grateful if you would do this, and let me know that you have. Thank you.
