That was an excellent essay. I'm sorry though, I'm not swayed. I still think the Scoobies were hypocritical. Evil is as evil does, and it shouldn't matter whether the perpetrator is human or otherwise. Besides, I see Anya's attempt to get her necklace back as equivalent to Spike's deal with Adam.

But nevermind that I don't agree with you. You raise some interesting and valid points. And the whole point of this exercise is to get us to think, right? Good job.
