A great many of the epic fantasies, from the lord of the rings onward, are about war, but to my mind, a lot of it doesn't really deal honestly with the consequences of war, what war does to us, as a society, what war does to us, as individuals, and the struggle for power, in the same way, and what we're fighting for.

In short, my vision of a responsible free society is one in which we discourage evil, but do not prohibit it. we make our children and students aware of the consequences of drug abuse and other forms of irresponsible behavior. but after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. in a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. they must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly
