We could say differently about "evil" but then we would have to live in that kind of society- that is not a frivolous difference. There was an article in the New Republic by Michael Ignatieff about Lemkin and his notions of genocide- it was called something like a World Without Enemies. You might have read it. One of the ideas is that genocide comes from a desire to live in a world without enemies- it's a utopian urge (that most of us, I hope, would say has gone awry). But it comes out again and again. The urge to commit genocide will always be with us- and it is probably good to realize that as humans it is very easy to give in to it. You have strange primitive notions Neo. An "offense" against the dead?
