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 a highly fictionalized situation (swirling, raging waters, and all that) in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest -- and spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly, giving due consideration to each line.
You are in Louisiana, New Orleans to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane that was followed by horrific flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

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 George W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
