Productive Discourse. In all walks of life and all endeavor in life, work, politics, religion, sports, and play one can find examples of people being stupid and hateful and just plain assholes. I see little value in dwelling on those sorry individuals as some make take it wrong and decide to follow up reporting on more of the millions of examples of the dumb being dumb or the evil being evil. With the fact that thousands dwell on reporting man's failings, I would prefer to dwell on what folks are doing right and celebrate and find the good in people. My web pages have thousands of pics on what I consider the good. But there is a place for identifying and discussing gross personal failure. I think it is more important to dwell on those who actions are evil and the way they lived there life in the context of such evil. The truly putrid depraved evil celebrates it as in your face screw you. In my opinion I cannot think of any example greater than this in the history of mankind. watman.com I have a few, maybe a dozen or so pics to illustrate evil. Just as important is the discussion of those who ignore such behavior and don't see that not condemning it openly and clearly says it's OK and encourages it to those who are growing and learning. Silence is consent. Another reason for dwelling on evil behavior is that stupid people who don't comprehend evil many times have a need to attempt to redeem or minimize someone's evil by stretching or inventing some good. Some don't understand the unrepentant vile evil is not redeemable. Having zero character is not redeemable by any action until an honest admission of guilt and apology is made. But that's the boring dull way of this enginear. As a picture is worth a thousands words my photos celebrate good vs evil at a ratio well over thousand to one. tom watson tosiwmee
