If nothing else Breaking Bad showed us that crime pays; as long as you have a marketable product, production skills and a good business plan.

Given the final episode’s ending I could openly fantasize what he could have done, but I really don’t need that kind of official scrutiny in my life right now...

I think one point of the show was that Walter White is a terrible role model. He messed up everything.

Now, having said that, I will note that Walt got away with a great many things (for awhile) because he knew he was dying and he was desperate, and he felt no fear. By being fearless, he was able to go and confront people and do things that seemed impossible and crazy.

Our government better hope that not too many people become as fearless as Walter White.

Well, Breaking Bad is only a TV show, but I got a different lesson from it.

If Walter White had lived out his days, his family would have kept his house, the Schwartz’s would likely have helped out, he would have died surrounded by people who loved him, and God would have embraced him upon death.

Instead, crime got his family’s house lost, and while the family will have money, it is blood money, he died alone and hated by his family, and God will certainly cast him out.

Good classic literature, TV, movies etc... become classic because they show reality. In other words, if you are showing evil, you must realistically show the consequences of it.

Non-realistic media shows evil in a gratuitous fashion...sex without babies or venereal disease...Villains held up as heroes... pushing liberal agendas...etc...
