Of course, I guess they won't live forever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283192060189469984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499823976841393366.post-25284458855704939162011-10-13T12:35:47.853-05:002011-10-13T12:35:47.853-05:00I am firmly ensconced in Wolverine's camp.

Genosha? Does a whole colony of separatist mutants ever go well? Also, I'll try to spin this in what I believe was the original political use of the X-men. Professor X's philosophy is that of Martin Luther King Jr. It involves, not separation, but radical inclusion. It means willingly placing yourself in a dangerous position (the X-mansion, anyone?) for the long-term goal of peace. If people strike at you when you are busy being awesome, then peace is achieved that much quicker, even if it is at a cost. The way cyclops is playing it, is rather like the early Malcolm X, which, while perhaps justified and warranted, is not what will ultimately lead to success. An "us vs. them" mentality will only lead to an eventual collision, even if they survive for an entire generation. What happens when the mutants run out of land or resources? Will Utopia exist indefinitely? The world itself has limited resources, and if the mutants can't learn to share them, then they have set themselves up either for extermination or domination. A position which Wolverine, for all of his hypocrisy and flaws, rejects. As do I. <br /><br />Also, Slim is a douche.Optimistic Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08183663074032653561noreply@blogger.com
