I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is insightful to decide what one would do. The situation: You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures destroyed. Let's say that you're a photographer and getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes. You come across Osama Bin Laden who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under. You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb. So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the question below: Which lens would you use? [}:D] |
| I would have to do the right thing, being a Christian, so I would drop the camera and save him. Unfortunately I would have no choice because my religion. Then I would ask for a blessing for Osama Bin Laden and myself, then on GOD's authority, I would proceed to beat the living crap out of him with my bare hands, rip his ears off, gouge out his eyes with my Kung-Fu Grip, rip his tounge right out of his pie hole, spread his mouth apart untill I crack his jaw in half, then shove his eyes, ears, tounge and anything else that I ripped off of his face,right down his throat and choke him to death with his own body parts.....An eye for an eye, right! |

How about a compromise? Put down the camera. Save his sorry ass. While he's still recovering, tie him up. Hang him upside down and take pics of the "Prize winning bASS" This way you can save him, collect 5 million for his capture and make millions selling your pic to the media. Win-Win situation. |
