The London Royal National Theatre staged a two-part adaptation of the trilogy in 2003–2004. The trilogy has attracted controversy for its criticism of religion. It functions in part as a retelling and inversion of John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, with Pullman commending humanity for what Milton saw as its most tragic failing, original sin. The fantasy elements include witches and armoured polar bears the trilogy also alludes to concepts from physics, philosophy, and theology.

The system works imperfectly, and none of the candidates is me. Because we live in a democracy, we, the people, rule this country. I must say to these women, and to others of you who may be considering NOT voting in this election, that I believe that abstaining from voting in this election is a betrayal of trust, dereliction of duty, and just plain wrong. So she was thinking about “protesting” by not voting. Someone else who watched the debate said she didn’t trust either McCain or Obama and didn’t agree with them in several areas where they agreed with each other. One woman at church very eloquently explained how she saw both of the candidates for president supporting the 700 billion dollar bailout of Wall Street, and how wrong that bailout was, and how she could not in good conscience vote for either candidate since she didn’t agree with their positions on the bailout and on immigration. ![]() ![]() I’ve had a lot of people telling me that they may not vote in this election because they don’t much like either of the candidates. ![]() ![]() "Fun and entertaining… Elizabeth Peters doesn't disappoint."
