'Kidnapping', 'Mandatory boarding school' -- potayto, potahto. I guess we were raised differently -- my father always felt that a benevolent dictatorship would be ideal.
Yeah, I think we just a diffrent beliefs about this- while I can see what you're saying, 'benevolent dictatorship' just seems like an oxymoron to me. I think Klaus is a great, nuanced character, in part because he is doing stuff like maintaing road and such, as well as the kidnapping but I also think his power needs to be broken. Plus, as you said, it's fiction, so what would be ideal would be really boring to read. As much as I say, 'I'd like such and such to happen politically,' it's more fun if the system is screwed up. Makes for better drama.
imagine George W Bush being in control of Europe.
WARN ME BEFORE YOU pUT THE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE IMAGES IN MY HEAD!!! I read that and literally shuddered.
