Even samurai did not expect the common "rabble" to act as honorably as they were. (not saying that samurai were paladin here, but they were following the Bushido code. Something very hard to follow.)All those who have expected all LG to act like paladins totally missed the point.  LG is not a problem alignment. Do not put words in my mouth. It is a problem when not played as it should be (as most alignments are). And most people playing LG as the LStupid are really playing a LE-N character/society. I know that it is not a problem in my games or any games in my area (may be because I had such a huge impact in my area). But I know that whenever I see a game in a hobby shop I talk with the players and the LStupid vision is not always there. In fact, with the new generation of player and DM it tends to disappear. Paladin is now a class like any other opened to all alignment. So the feel/need to restrict the paladin through his alignment is no longer there. So new players (from my experience so far) have less and less problems with LG. It might be a 1980-90's players' problem.</blockquote>
