I can see were's having some advantages... their disadvantages come at having to HIDE. always. So we'll never see were's that truely get to shine. not that much as well... Secrecy isn't just important... Its survival. Worse as technology and genetics progress the chance of discovery becomes higher and they have to melt in and fade away even more. Yes they try and manipulate things... But always to help the over all survival. I think those that try and see the view as "Were's get the high hand o awesome" should realize were's are progressively fighting a war of secrecy. With the information age it gets worse. And if they are discovered? So many means to find, track, and eliminate them.
I say give Kris and Bar a break, don't try and see too deep and enjoy the read. Its a story, if you don't like the chapter, read old ones and later skip a head!
Personaly I'm curious if Davinci knew of were's was a supporter, or a hunter. Remember he did dabble in guns. If not him what other famous faces we'd never expect. And what about Evil were's. Was there ever a serial killer that was a were but never discovered as the fact.
