From Where I Stand (For lack of a better title)

I have always believed that in most of the world's unanswered questions, the truth usually lies somewhere towards the centre of things.  Maybe it's because I was raised in house where science and mysticism held equal places on the mantel.  Maybe it's because I found myself surrounded by enough people from each end of the spectrum that something sunk in.  I'm not really sure, and I think that in and of itself would take a whole lot more research then I am willing to give it.

On with my point.

Examining the Anti-Hero

Is the anyone more dangerous then someone with nothing to lose?  A man who has lost everything, but the promise of revenge?  Or how about the woman willing to kill, for but a fistful of dollars?  Or someone whose only goal in life is to survive, and to hell with whoever gets in the way?

Today, lets talk about Anti-Heroes.   The Mad Maxs, the Wolverines, and the Conans of the world.  What is it, in this day and age, that draws us to these Blackguards?  Well, to understand this, we need to take a few steps back to 10th grade English class, and examine the differences between the Hero and his darker counterpart.
