Don't feel bad Brad, I was going to make a similar posting and this is the
third time I've seen the series!  I guess what they are saying (and this
differs from the view I had in the 60's when the series was first aired)
is that there are no sides, only a system.  By retaining his individuality,
#6 beats the system.  In doing so, he becomes the new "system" (hence the
scene of everyone returning to London and their appointed places in society).

Another viable alternative is my wife's idea that it is just a series that
was "relevent" in a time when EVERYTHING was "relevent". [:-/-)]

Or was it all a dream? (a modified view of my 60's opinion).
