However, the good of society should always be placed above the
individual. An old Confucian (or say generally Asian) ethic.
But then, who decides the best for society? In the hands of a tyrant, it
would be disasterous. In the hands of the corrupt and greedy, it would
be ruinious.
The headache would kill any philosopher.. >:)
Is there a difference between a tyrant and a dictator? In one of my
philosophy classes, one of the philosophers (can't remember his name)
claimed that the best form of government was that of a benevolent
dictator.
Overall, an okay fic. A good view into what Usagi and the gang would be
like in real life...
I thought this was a good fic as well. It is not often that we see fics
that make the characters _really_ look at what they have done in new
light. Expecially when they have believed all along that what they did was
correct and right and they aren't wrong or havbe doen anything bad...
