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.

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 pull him under.

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?

Can American Indians "who live on tribal resevations" do the same
if they want to adopt a child or children out side of their own tribe?

If so;
1. are there any restrictions on American natives who want to adopt
outside their own tribe (should they want to)?
2. Do they receive any other additional benefits that are not
extended to the general American population outside the
reservation or tribe?
3. Where does someone find government guidlines for adoptions as
it relates to American natives wanting to adopt children outside of
their own tribe or reservation?

Do American natives generaly seek such adoption services or
help from the out side from non tribal families?

Or;
Do they have there own self-help adoption services with in their
own tribes or resevations?

Thanks, Ed

Hello, is this the sheriff's Office?" "Yes. What can I do for you?" "I'm
calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith....He's hidin' marijuana
inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs,
but he's hidin' it there." "Thank you very much for the call, sir."

The next day, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house. They search
the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every
piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave.

Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house. "Hey, Virgil! This here's
Floyd....Did the Sheriff come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?"

"Yep!" "Happy Birthday, buddy!" (Rednecks know how to git-R-dun

A Little known Black History Fact. This information can also be
found in the African American Archives at the Smithsonian Institute.
Although not taught in American learning institutions and literature, it is
noted in most Black history professional circles and literature, that
the origin of the term "picnic" derives from the acts of lynching
African -Americans.
>
>
> The word "picnic" is rooted from the whole theme of "Pick A
******." This is where individuals would "pic" a Black person to lynch
and make this into a family gathering.
>
>
> There would be music and a "picnic" ("Nic") being the white
acronym for "******.") Scenes of this was depicted in the movie
"Rosewood" We should choose to use the word "Barbecue", or instead of the word "picnic".
