I liked the fact that FA showed that any group, acting for any cause,
can become tyrants if they gain power. I think the original proposal
that started this thread, if it had been seriously made, would have
shown the authors of <Fallen Angels> to be prescient. People overdoing
things, stepping on other peoples rights, "in a good cause" are
legitimate subjects of satire and even ridicule.
