most sane people are anti war
but with RAH there is the theme that killing is wrong yet it is something you should be prepared to do to protect your freedom.
there is also the theme that in societies where everyone is armed and has the freedom to kill, people tend to be more polite and there is less crime
these themes spawn numerous questions
mainly, at which point does the killing go from retail to wholesale and go from fighting to defend yourself and property on a personal level to fighting a war to defend your society/nation and way of life?
oh what a lovely can of worms RAH has left for us to open
