[b]You do err not knowing England. Robin Hood was and remains to this very day, an agent of King Richard the Lionheart. He was and is a hero of the Crusader Christian King and his Knights in time of war against the "Assassin" anti christian Iblis Satanos cultis of Medea Persia . He was and is the epitome of loyalty and faithfulness in the face of overwhelming treachery and corruption.
Let's put things this way: does King Richard Lionheart still represent the government?
Or another hypothesis: what would have happen if Lionheart himself had driven the government into an insane totalitarism?
Robin Hood is not loyal to the government, he is loyal to what is right
[/b]
he is loyal to Dharma through his loyalty to the King. The king is the Goverment. The usurper is not. B)[/b][/quote]
There is no single Robin Hood. I wrote a term paper on this character, basing heavily upon --I think I sold the book-- anyway, I will copy it to my webspace if you want to read it. I think that I can safely say, MGM's Robin Hood (Errol Flynn) was motivated by a sense of justice, fair play & loyalty to King R. So, if you clarify your statement and refer to this version, your statements then be will without the vagueness from which they now suffer. In addition to the many Robin Hoods, both historic & fictional or mythic, there are the Robin Hoods of the short-lived
When things were rotten, &
Men in Tights, both from Mel Brook(e)s.
However, only if you consider the Govt. under Prince John as illegitimate, can you support your claim. In KR's absence, Prince J was left in control. Thus some of his acts were technically lawful. The usurptation of the throne would be one of the things, perhaps the only thing that was not lawful. Raising the taxes, oppressing the poor was nothing unusual for monarchs, notwithstanding the Magna Carta, who held themselves as above the law.
But all that is beside the point, my dear Cybotron. The point is, that you have been successfully fefuted, and rather than either conceding defeat, or defending your positions from other angles, you have simply changed the subject. Both fafner & I have destroyed your conclusions (do you know how long it took me to make that coloful posting, & you did not even bother to address anything in it :cry

, Answerest thou the charges leveled against thee:
- You have used the word 'agent' in mutually excusive ways. You cannot support both of these definitions.
- As fafner has said, Atom's sense of justice and fair play has a higher priority than his adherance to laws. Rember the stuff I wrote about mala in se & mala prohibita? While the manmade law may hold him as guilty, Would Atom have captured Denkou & given him to the authorities? Of course this is a speculative question, but we can cite many events in the manga, & all 3 anime that demonstrate Atom's prioritization of Justice above law. I leave this to fafner to do, lest I should steal his thunder.
Thus, these two points obliterate your assertion that our little hero is an agent of the police, that he was in some chain of command, subject to appropriation by the police, etc. I could cite others, but I already did so in earlier posts.
BTW, I have had Xp for only about 2 years, and already exhausted the #. I had to call MS, and get a new #! :angry: ~%^* :angry: Stupid registry, if it had used only files pertainant to each app, I would have had no trouble. If it had not overwriitten my own restoration points, I would have had no problem!
