If your house catches fire, do you release the hostages in your basement, knowing they'll run to the authorities, or do you let them perish knowing the fire investigators will find their bodies eventually anyway?
This is, of course, a trick question. You don't keep hostages at your house at all.
They've been here long enough for Stockholm Syndrome to have totally bent them to my will.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It;s not for their ears, you have to start building your defense from moment one, for the addled individuals who couldn't make it out of jury duty. I guess you could go other ways with it, like immediately confessing to the assassination of a living president, or the repeated sexual abuse of a character from the Harry Potter series?

Assuming that all of my loved ones, friends, acquaintances, etc., made it out of the house, then I'd probably grab a mathematics book along with one of my peacemaking/bridge-building books.

Screw saving photos on the cloud, I print mine out. And some are from the 19th century.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
