Robin Hood's story reminds me of what we have right now in the Philippines. His story was simple enough to understand: he robs the rich and gives it to the poor.
But if we are to delve deeper into other details included in the story, it was the time of extreme poverty over the land. The people with power like the Sheriff of Nottingham usurps power and money from the poor.
Hmmm... Really reminiscent of what we have here. How I wish Robin Hood was here, well, not really to rob the rich, but to at least defend the poor.

I was reading through some of my old comic books (yes, I do have a little collection of Marvel and DC comics) and this one issue of Superman struck me.
It was when Lois Lane was telling Superman why doesn't he help humanity by using his x-ray vision to hunt corrupt officials. Lois' point is that if he has these powers, why not utilize them also in spying and correcting society's flaw.
What did he reply?
It was not in verbatim but his point was that humanity has its own problems, and it doesn't need superpowers to resolve. If one has the heart, then it can be done.
NOSEBLEED! Teka, bat parang di ko kilala si Robin Hood? Si Peter Pan naiimagine ko eh. Geez!
