I could say a lot of things, but Steven has, I think, said
them all for me in this fic. 

	One of my greatest dislikes in the story that is Sailor Moon
is the sacrifice of ambition for utopia. Mankind has a great weakness.
That weakness is the fact that without demons to drive us onward,
we inevitably degenerate, growing ever softer and more frail. The 
Egypt of the Pharaohs had this peace, and degenerated to a point 
where the now barely remembered Hyscos horsemen obliterated the 
first Kingdom.

	And the belief that Serenity and the Scouts will forever 
protect them from all that is evil.. well.. there is an old, old
saying about eggs and baskets. It saddens me that Serenity, in her
heart-felt and honestly kind desire to ease the pains of the people
she loves, will end up destroying them.

	Even the gentlest of shepards will reluctantly admit that 
the only way to defend a flock of sheep from a wolf, is to use
a wolfhound. And the difference between a wolf and a wolfhound
is a fine, fine line.

	I've argued this before, on IRC and some of the MUCKS 
frequented by the writers of the FFML, and due to my being at a
loss for words to describe how, and more important, WHY I feel
Serenity is and was wrong simply resulted in my being considered
a crank, or possibly a misanthropic person who just could not 
stand to see other people having a peaceful life.

	Steven's short fic found the words I could not.

	Thank you, Steven.
