Greetings All!

I received the following in an email.  I've cleaned it up to offer it
here.

TWO ETHICAL QUESTIONS TO PONDER 

Q1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who already had 8 kids,
three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded,
and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before scrolling down to the answer to this one.


Q2: It is time to elect the world leader and your vote counts.

Here are the facts about the three leading candidates:


Candidate A

Associates with crooked politicians and consults with astrologists.
He's had two mistresses.
He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.


Candidate B

He has been kicked out of office twice.
He sleeps until noon.
He used opium in college.
He drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.


Candidate C

He is a decorated war hero.
He's also a vegetarian.
He doesn't smoke.
He drinks only an occasional beer
He hasn't had any extramarital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your first choice?

Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.
























Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt
Candidate B is Winston Churchill
Candidate C is Adolf Hitler


By the way, if you answered yes to the abortion question,
you just killed Beethoven.

Interesting, isn't it?
