I'm glad you did. I'll look up the article. Initially, I love that piece you used. I just would not go with "sin" as the darkening factor. Is it a "sin" to be cruel? Perhaps, if one accepts the notion of sin, and then still cruelty is not necessarily a "sin". But it does exist, and can not be treated lightly, or with the notion that goodness will simply overcome it and the cruel person will be kind. That is foolish. Not the thought of a fool, but foolish, and dangerous. That's where liberal friends and I often came to difficulties. But I think you can be a leftie and not believe in the liberal optimism. <g>
