[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1149785, member: 151"] I'm curious, what alignment would you assign to Tony Soprano? I will say that I think the [i]Alignment with X tendencies[/i] qualifier is something of a cop-out. You want to eat your cake and have it, too. "A Christmas Carol" and it's protagonist are poster children for the "alignment follow actions" concept. His actions and desire for change take him to LG. Scrooge was plainly LE, IMHO. To wit: [font=Arial][/font] [font=Times New Roman][font=Verdana]That sounds like Scrooge to me. He stokes the money-machine, and uses his lending business like a hammer. Notice that no one ever says that Scrooge cheats them...he always obeys the law and is above board. But he is also callous, unfeeling and derisive of his own clients and fellow citizens. [/font][/font] [font=Times New Roman][font=Verdana]"[i]If I could work my will," said Scrooge indignantly, "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. [b]He should![/b][/i]"[/font][/font] *************** "[i][b]Nothing[/b][/i]!" Scrooge replied. "[i]You wish to be anonymous?[/i]" "[i]I wish to be left alone,[/i]" said Scrooge. "[i]Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don't make merry myself at Christmas and I can't afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned -- they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.[/i]" *************** Even the blind men's dogs appeared to know him; and when they saw him coming on, would tug their owners into doorways and up courts; and then would wag their tails as though they said,[i] "No eye at all is better than an evil eye, dark master![/i]" But what did Scrooge care? It was the very thing he liked. To edge his way along the crowded paths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep its distance, was what the knowing ones call "nuts" to Scrooge. [/QUOTE]
