Was Robin Hood a good guy?

Wow, what a question, Ankesh!

Two wrongs don't make a right...or do they if someone is starving?

There's no such thing as 'never get caught'. You'll know and your God will know even if no one else ever finds out. This knowing, in turn, can have negative influences on other behaviors of yours...a cynicism, if you will, perhaps.

My over-riding maxim is people first. Now, whether that encompasses doing wrong to one to do right by another, is another interesting question.

At least you gave me another train of thought to hop on if/when I have time.

What is that old adage about giving a man a fish, or teaching him how to catch his own? I don't recall how it goes...

Robin is largely a fictional character and though some of the stories may hold some semblance to the thirteenth century, the accounts of the government wouldn't be accurate either. Still, it is hard to sell stories about what could have been some displaced nobleman teaching cottagers how to fend for themselves or negotiate with their landlords. Who would be interested?

I think, regardless of how it is glorified, Robin was wrong.
