On the use of Alternate Universes in Fiction

Hello.

I've started using HTML to blog with, so sorry if this looks different. Also, if it looks like there are HTML tags in this post, blame google.

Now, to the point.

There are many issues with mirror universes, but I'll focus on a few.

How are they different

If everything was the same, then how did it become different in any way? The slightest change could, theoretically, have a huge impact on the world. Also, how is it different? Is it evil, because in that case....

If the Mirror Universe is evil, then everyone would have their own

The definition of evil shifts from person to person. I would find a world in which all minority groups are hunted down via international collaboration, or worse yet, a single world government, horrible. However, the person standing next to me could think that this world is horrifying and find a world government wonderful.

That doesn't increase or decrease the validity of anyone's particular vision. It only means that we hold differing ideals, and we have to work together to achieve what will make both of us, as well as everyone around us, most happy.

I'm too lazy to write more, so to the blog with this post!
