In some ways, I think you are correct when you say that the only pure answers can be found in "fundamentalism", and I'd probably argue that's what you'll find along the outer edge of the alignment grid.  What I'm really looking for are the lines inside, between Neutral and both Evil and Good.  That most people enjoy action movies without feeling disgusted by the behavior of the protagonists suggests that there are at least some common ideas about this out there.I think it's quite possible to find insight into what goes on in your own group by talking to people outside of it.  I've done quite a bit of that, actually.  Haven't you gotten any insight into what happened from this thread?</blockquote>
