Good V. Bad

Are the 'rescue' team good or bad?
Are the 'others' good or bad?
Ben?
Locke?
Rousseau?

It's getting difficult to tell....

Something interesting to me is the fact that John Locke is also the name of a 17th century political philosopher., often referred to as the "philospher of freedom."

JL the philosopher worked closely with Anthony Cooper, a politician (also JL father's name in Lost) and helped to save his life from a liver infection (As JL saved his father with his kidney).

Jean -Jaques Rousseau is also the name of an influential 18th Century Philospher, with ideas similar to Lockes. Rousseau believed that people were born 'good' and that society and experiences and teaching are what corrupt people.

Both Lockes & Rousseau's political writings influenced the French (& American) Revolution.
So, I guess it all depends which side you are on when it comes to figuring out who is "good" and who is "bad".

In the end, I believe that everyone is good and believes that they are doing what is right and are doing what they feel is necessary for survival.

Kinda like real life.
