Lord of the Flies

Just finished reading Lord of the Flies.  I like the way the notes in the back of the book described the theme.  "The moral is that the shape of a society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not on any political system however apparenntly logical or respectable."  This thought rang loud and clear in my heart as we face that dilemma in our American culture.  I know there is so much more symbolism in the book but that summed up something I could take away from what was a pretty disturbing story.
