27. If I were trapped and escape was not an option, I do believe I'd fight/go down fighting.

If escape was possible, I honestly don't know. I couldn't leave my family or my beloved pets, so...

I don't think that I will ever see fighting/dying for what is TRULY right--defending the lives of others against true, actual tyranny-- as cynically as some do. At least I hope I will not.
