George wait a minute. Im finding soft money all over the Republican Board with Gilder, Gagnon and Howe. Very, Very large contributions. Although not illegal something seems to be very disturbing here.

Stockholm Syndrome (its preventable) "They weren't bad people. They let me eat, they let me sleep, they gave me my life" - A hostage from Flight 847 One way of describing this site would be "strange beliefs people have and how they got them." A curious footnote that doesn't seem to fit in nicely on any of the other pages is a phenomenon known as the Stockholm Syndrome. In 1973, four hostages were taken in a botched bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweeden. At the end of their captivity, six days later, they actively resisted rescue. They refused to testify against their captors, raised money for their legal defense, and one of the hostages eventually became engaged to one of her jailed captors. This struck some folks as weird, and as a way of coping with this uneasiness, as they started seeing more examples they named this class of strange behavior the "Stockholm Syndrome." Notorious in the United States is the case of Patty Hearst, who after being kidnapped and tortured by the Symbionese Liberation Army, took up arms and joined their cause, taking on the nom de guerre of "Tania" and helping the SLA rob banks. The Stockholm Syndrome comes into play when a captive cannot escape, is isolated and threatened with death, but is shown token acts of kindness by the captor. It typically takes about three or four days for the psychological shift to take hold. A strategy of trying to keep your captor happy in order to stay alive becomes an obsessive identification with the likes and dislikes of the captor which has the result of warping your own psyche in such a way that you come to sympathize with your tormenter! The syndrome explains what happens in hostage-taking situations, but can also be used to understand the behavior of battered spouses, members of religious cults, Holocaust victims, household pets, and perhaps even users of Internet Explorer.
