Ethics Test
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 won't 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, your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.
Here's the situation:
You're in Florida; Miami to be specific. There's chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of Biblical proportions. You're a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, & 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 are disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He's 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:
wait for it
ready?
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

i am not normally a violent person - if anything i tend to be more the peace maker. yesterday, however, if i had had a gun, i would have been sorely tempted to use it. I chair the mayor's council on homelessness in a city that has a huge drug problem, a vast number of homeless and a town population that is literally being forced out of their homes due to the dearth of a living wage and the gentrification of the city.
bad enough to listen to 15 supposedly sane, educated people sit around and villify those less fortunate for an endless 3 hours, right? well, it gets better.
in the middle of the committee reports, a rep from the mayor's office interrupts the whole process and starts talking about how the homeless are responsible for the city's "crime wave". never mind that the city is known as the heroin capital of the North Shore.
insult to injury - the police have taken to making the "old drunks" dance for them of an evening.
what the hell is going on in this world?
is it so easy to judge another? is the only way you can feel good is if another person feels bad?and is it anything other than reprehensible that the people in power turn their back on their citizenry in favor of "development" and a handful of yuppie condo buyers?
really, if i had had a gun............

a windy cold sunday - snuggled up on the couch reading the papers
all i can think about is my Sir. i spent last night with Him and His scent lingers on my skin.
my body bears his marks and my mind keeps slipping away - remembering the night.
subdrop is something i have become used to and yet today, i am finding it difficult to endure. and i struggle to find my footing back here in this world.
our world is so other, so extraordinary. i fly.
but today i am heavy, leaden and i wish only to be back where i was, where He takes me.
flying

an odd thing just happened - i was in the basement chatting and i realized that i had been iggied.
now, i can understand that i am not everyone's cup of tea but i was hurt in a way that was way way way out of synch with the incident
this as a lead in to the reality - my life is difficult right now and i feel rather vulnerable at the moment - and being rejected by someone i thought i had an okay relationship with - well it smarted. and yet i think i know something in this moment that i didn't five minutes ago.
i am alone. in the most existential way - i am just me alone. and the people that i think know me or accept me, may just as readily choose to iggy me or in RT, not call, not care.
i'm not depressed - grins - despite what this may read like
i am in an odd way relieved.
funny thing

Why is it a lie
Falls easily from your lips
While truth has no voice
i love haikus as a form, a discipline
this is one i wrote after being in the room one day
it is about duplicity
about honesty
about owning your own shit
not an easy thing for any of us - but so vital
just a thought on a grey , sleety day
easy
