Seems we still haven't moved beyond the medievil when the majority still wants to shoot the messenger. The Page is the only one I have some sympathy for in this dilema. As pointed out by Troll, he seems to be the only one "forced" to make a moral decision and he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. A very awkward situation for him, not of his own making.

But then again, a lot of bad stuff starts by adherence to ridgid principals, hence the duality of human nature. Lean towards the light.
