So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
I knew it would come to this.
Eric Burns (ericburns) says:
I didn’t see this as political at all.
I saw it, amusingly enough, as human.
Each of the different societies has very human, very reasonable, and very selfish goals. They have different viewpoints, but they all come down to “this is what I do. I’m not going to stop doing it just because you want me to.” At the same time, they want the others to change to suit their needs.
Tip, as an outsider, can see a solution. In the end, it’s not a solution they want — but he wants it so badly he can taste it.
That’s not political. That’s human — or sapient — nature.
And it’s funny, too.
Nicely done, guys.

Jane Narbon (lady_madsci) says: Solomon, Solomon, Solomon, where are you when we need you?
To be fair, graveyards are often described as peaceful…
A wise being once said “I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content, or the peace of unburied death, the choice is yours.”
