This is reminding me of this style-of-authority-figure quiz where I got... uh, Kirk, I think? And Sister Magpie got Spock? 'Cause one of the questions was whether you'd want to do questionable things to fix people/society 'for their own good' or whatever. And I said no, people have to attain enlightenment themselves or it's worthless. The Prime Directive (Star Trek) states that we must not, for any reason, interfere with the natural development of a less advanced culture, and that we must also not interfere with the internal affairs of any government outside of the Federation... though of course Jim Kirk broke that rule more than anyone.

I think this is completely a question of ethics for me, actually :>
