Found: If you are kidnapped

I was looking through a notebook I was scribbling in, and found a great little poem I wrote for Kristi when she was headed to Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami.

If You Are Kidnapped

Don’t panic.
Tell them I’m fabulously wealthy -
   I’ll think of something.
If they’re Muslim, don’t say you’re a “crusader”.
Don’t forget - martyrdom is cool.
Drink lots of water.
Make friends with the bugs;
   try giving them names to pass the time.
Remember Last of the Mohecans:
“I will find you! I will!”
“Cooooooorrrrrrraaaaahhhhhh!!!”

What shaped your politics?

Which books, leaders or other individuals? What events shaped how you think about policy issues?

What media types (books, conversations, blogs, radio/podcasts, tv shows) are you drawn to for political information?

I don’t care what your politics are, I just want to know how you got the way you are! Chime in.
