Anti-Nephi-Lehi: A Lamanite phenomenon

Post by _zeezrom »

I wonder why Nephites weren't interested in this hippie ideal.

For clarity, assume that: hippie ideal = anti-war

I ask that no mention of democrats, republicans, Romney, Obama, or anything related to these be mentioned (especially you, BC).

Here is an idea: The author(s) are represented in the Nephites. The author looks at the Lamanites as "them" and the Nephites as "us". To be anti-war zealots is slightly heathen, fitting for aborigines. The Nephites must protect and take care of "them".

Just a thought.
