I want to be remembered for:
- Doing everything in my power to extend rights to underrepresented and disenfranchised peoples.
- I don't really care what people say about me, as long as the American people wise up and see things how they really are.
- Improving human kind. Science is worth nothing if used to destroy humanity.
- My actions and the choices I made, more than my words alone.
- As an idealist who resisted tyranny wherever it was found.
- My humble observations, in hopes that they'll speak to people and console them in hard times.

Of the options below, my thoughts on the current state of our nation are most accurately described by this statement:
- November 4th was a remarkable day...but even with our first person of color as Commander in Chief there's so much more to be done to achieve full equality for all.
- I'm skeptical - there's a new party in power, but the same entrenched powers at play. I don't buy the hype.
- I fear a reinvigorated arms race and I'm pleased that President Obama has indicated he'll initiate diplomatic talks with Iran.
- I'm relieved to see the Global Gag Rule has been lifted, and that women around the world will be empowered to make their own decisions about their health.
- I say it's time for a real revolution -- the ends justify the means.
- I'm encouraged that the President has signed a bill into law that mandates that women are paid what their male counterparts are paid. But the playing field still isn't completely level.

If I had to narrow it down to two issues I feel most passionate about, they would be:
- Civil rights and civic activism
- Privacy rights and drug legalization
- Peace and nuclear non-proliferation
- International law and human rights
- Fighting corporate power and a more just economy
- Women's rights
7

If I had to sum up my philosophy in life, this comes the closest:
- Non-violent civil disobedience
- I like to think of myself as rational. My arguments are based on scientific data.
- I prefer to work on the inside most of the time while also respecting independent movements.
- Rail against the system - I'm all for rabblerousing and less conventional tactics in the service of the greater good.
- The pen can be mightier than the sword. I prefer more private, personal forms of resistance.
- I don't take orders from anyone; I march to my own tune.
