A. Leverkuhn said...: Yes and no: The accusation "... but in the real world he is a middle man and peddler who resents the civilization that nurtured him..." is a little too easy to make and applicable to almost anyone who
rocks the boat. By this reasoning there are never good grounds for challenging
authorities --- any revolt has a component which contradicts the attitudes of society which tolerated (and even perhaps gave merit to) the idea of misbehaving in the first place.
