Here's my opinion in a nutshell:
I enjoy McCain, but he's so old, and I don't want to risk having a mentally retarded female alaskan hick run the country and get us all killed.
Obama isn't an idiot. He's more qualified than Palin, obviously, and has a diverse cabin. |

The words "Alaskan" and "female" weren't necessary. |

If you get rid of human nature, then the man will do nothing. They will not work, for they won't want to improve themselves, and they will no longer have that instinct of self-preservation. Humanity will die out, for we will no longer wish to reproduce. The government can't do anything about, as it will have collapsed. |

Which pretty much happens in "The Reality Bug" of the Pendragon series. Although the idea is different, you can see the parallels between Lifelight and Communism. |

It's interesting that you mention Pendragon; I'm reading that series, myself. I just finished Raven Rise, like, today. That book has a cult in it that reminds me of fascist National Socialism. The book raises the question of two different philosophies; one argues that humans if left alone will always choose what is wrong for them and need a dictating single voice to lead them 'the right way', while the other advocates that everyone has the right to their free will, whether they are elites of society or the common worker. Or something like that; I really hope I understood correctly. xD |

What are you talking about, LifeLight was a representation of that persons fantasy world, its the farthest thing from represnting communism. Raven Rise is more attone to a political goverment while LifeLight is more based around human desire BTW:anybody know what the next book is gonna be |

The next (and last) book in the Pendragon series is to be titled The Soldiers of Halla; it's due for release May 12. And I agree with what you said about how The Reality Bug and Raven Rise are different in what they represent/carry a theme of. |

But, the effect of Lifelight is the same as what SK said. Look at how Veelox fell.
Anyways, I need to catch up with the series. I need to get Raven Rise and the next book. |
