Ted, I see a pattern in your definition of "evil." Anyone with a house, a job, and some hope also has the capacity to determine what is right and wrong. And anyone who doesn't won't have that capacity, so they can't possibly be held responsible for their own actions. Ten, that's not what I mean at all. Its a fact of life when you have something to lose you become more willing to compromise, more willing to be flexible, less likely to take risks and to be revolutionary etc. In other words, people tend to become more conservative as they acquire wealth. Its when people don't have anything worth saving and have no hope of ever having anything worth saving that they become dangerous.......terrorists and criminals. It's a different viewpoint that the one I go by, but it's perfectly valid. We just have a hard time agreeing on what is black and what is white, given the vast amount of grey there is in everything. As for evil, there are people who have things and go to church every Sunday who are very much evil, and then there are those who are as poor as church mice who are very good. ted
