THINK.... WHICH ARE YOU-- WOLF OR SHEEP?
Wendy
Now you're just insulting people. I doubt many of us have our whole lives wrapped up in waiting for a Messiah to save our people. Therefore, no Lord Avon could take away our reason for living. Besides, Blake's entire life is devoted to defeating the Federation. If Avon had won the fight while he was disappeared, would Avon have taken away his reason for living. You seem to think anyone who disagrees with you is blinded by Avon's appearence. That is really, truely insulting. You are being sexist in assuming that hormones are overpowering people's ability to reason. Okay, aside from Neil, we haven't heard too much from the men on the Lyst. This also seems to assume that Meeghat quietly curled up to die post-Deliverance. I don't assume she has been transported to another planet, but I do think, now that she doesn't have to tend the rocket-bunker, she has been able to move on to a *more* varied and interesting life among her people, where, as I have said before, she would be greatly respected for her part in fulfilling the prophecy. Once again, I see Wendy's assumption as being sexist, assuming Meeghat has no ability to adapt to change, and that her inability to launch a rocket and her belief in prophecy make her incompetent in all areas of life. Many modern people believe there will be a Messiah. Few of them are rocket scientists. Does this mean that they are stupid? No.
Calle, Iain, anyone who known to be not Avon-biased? Please answer the following: Did Meeghat, in her circumstances, do the right thing by her standards by letting Avon in and persuading him to launch the rocket? Did Avon 'take everything away from her', or did they form a mutually beneficial arrangement, in which he took care of a task for her and she offered shelter to him and his companions?
