DonMeinxer: You said, "They are great stories that entertain and along the way teach one message. Goodness will defeat badness. Over time it always has."

That can ALWAYS be true as long as you don't bother to define 'good' and 'bad' since without that definition, our interpretations are arbitrary. Where, for example, has the more popular idea of good won out over the popular idea of bad relative to the treatment of Native Americans?? Get my point?
