I definitely see it. How he views it is a bit "deeper" (lack of better terms) than what maybe the next guy would see it. It's like we know the history of the time and at that time it was different for my race. However, 300+ years later, we live in a different time frame. Its just like with anything, some people will see things as extremes whereas other of that same race or culture are more practical.

Like Scruffy said in a previous post, you cannot view the past based on modern times, nor can you view the present based on the past.
