I'm glad you liked it! In BtVS, the monsters were almost always metaphors for something else, and I think that the "War on Evil" is similar to the "War on Poverty" and the "War on Drugs". None of them can be completely won, but you have to keep fighting and you can achieve victory in some battles. Sometimes you get a warrior who can bring innovation and meaningful change (Buffy) and sometimes you just have people slogging along trying to make a difference within the framework of the existing system (Robin and thousands of other dedicated educators). I suspect you need both to keep the world turning.

Thanks for commenting!
