Why did I do that to my Characters? Why did I open an old Can of Worms?

I am person, who can see the worst in human nature and its best. I am not a LGBT crusader or activist, but I am a conscientious man. What is stopping Christian Fundamentalists in Africa from Aligning with radical groups in the US? How many Christian Clinics for HIV are there in Africa open freely in repressive Anti-gay nations like Nigeria with Death Sentences for Homosexuality? I might have pushed the envelope, but in our world, it is not that far from reality that a dedicated group of a few hardliners cannot accomplish with resources of an international NGO that exist in the thousands with religious affiliations.

Hunter is not a perfect hero; he makes deadly mistakes of judgment too in his pursuit for success. That's his critical Character human flaw, he is an overachiever, who may not realize that victory is not always what you want. Winning a battle can easily hide the fact that you are losing a war. The term Pyrrhic victory comes from the Greek defeat of Roman Legions, which was so costly that it caused them to lose the entire war and their homeland to Rome.

As for my discussion between Hunter and Jesse, Order vs. Survival as reflected in Comic bok arguments of Batman versus Walking Dead These are still Teens, who can conceptualize their worlds down to graphic novels. Was Jesse right that we live in times of disorder without Civilization due to the advances of Technology? Or, Is Hunter right, we must strive to create the future based on fundamental principles?

Only time will tell...
