I would have to say that no, I don't think a quest like that would be possible today. The quest to destroy the ring was, I think, mainly successful because there was a physical object which was considered evil. If there was nothing to try and destroy, how would it have worked? The idea of 'evil' is usually not focused on an object, which would make it hard to get rid of. I hope that made sense. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Veritas, I would try to explain that animals are not good or evil by your statement that all humans are neutral. They can make choices to act either in good or evil ways, but what sets them apart from animals is that a human mind would know the difference between an evil choice, which hurts someone or something else, and a good one, which would help or heal. The difference is the understanding.
