[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 1863677, member: 87"] Ok, the ice is about to get very thin on this. I'll address this but afterwards let's please move away from politically loaded statements - they are against the rules after all. Each alignment in my system labels it's enemies as evil - or at least undesirable. Ignore the colors for a moment and the connotations they bring. Any view you can take is likely to be opposed. Throughout the Cold War Soviet Russia repeatedly labeled the west in general and the US in particular as evil. Without passing judgement about the truth or veracity of those statements - that was their "point of view." Similarly, from Valrea's point of view, independent thought and self advancement is evil. From Sodrea's point of view conformity and legal codes as a means to confine personal freedoms are likewise evil. The fact that NO alignment in my system gets to be defined as 100% good or 100% evil is what makes it so dynamic. Capitalism is very much a product "Sodrean" thinking. But the Sodrean or "Black" alignment is not evil, even as much as folks like to label it so. [/QUOTE]
