Apparently I am having some issues with the way people are spelling my name.
Especially when they are replying to something which has my name right there.
SO, to stop the confusion,
to spell Clare:

C L A R E.

Alternate spellings will no longer be accepted.

Late last night I was inspired to begin writing an epic love poem.
To Harold Bishop.
I do not remember a world without Harold 'Jelly Belly' Bishop,
and nor do I have any desire to do so.

So here is verse one.
I will add to it as I feel the need
and sleep deprivation to do so.

Oh Harold,
You are the sunshine,
The last Tim-Tam in the packet.
You are my everything,
My jelly doughnut.

A bizarre conversation involving All Saints and coat hangers inspired me to track down this moral test. I first found this a number of years ago, before Katrina, and way before Obama.. So pretend it is still 2002.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------



So where do you stand morally?

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 New Orleans 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 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.

===============================================
THE TEST
Suddenly you see a man 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 the President, 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 the President, or you
can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the
death
of one of the world's most famous men.


===============================================
THE QUESTION

Here's the question ;

Would you select high contrast colour film,
