Open Question

[jarandhel]

What are the vices of the Seelie Court? What are the virtues of the UnSeelie Court? And vice versa?

I'd prefer it if members of each court answered about their negative perspectives of their own courts and their positive perspectives of the ones they don't belong to, since I can see this quickly getting into a set of accusations or propaganda and away from reality if people start talking negatively about courts they don't belong to and positively about ones they do. But I won't be too strict about that as long as people are trying to be constructive in their answers.

What's negative about each of these courts? What's positive about each of them?

I have the weirdest hunch that the responses I get back are going to correspond quite well to two human groups I'm observing... which kinda freaks me out.

Yes, actually, though it's looking like the correspondences might be the reverse of what I thought they were.

That is often the case. Vice and virtue are subjective not only from person to person but from idea to idea.

Yeah, but... the Seelie = the Republicans/Conservatives and the Unseelie = the Democrats/Liberals? Come on, you have to admit that sounds odd! ;-) Yet it seems to work...

And certain "independents", like the Libertarians and the Greens, wind up filling the roles of such esteemed beings as Puck.

Odd? Sounds so twisted I'm wondering who slipped acid into the water supply... *smirk*

*chuckles* And yet, oddly, it fits. Very well, in fact.
