Some things are evil, surely, Zonder, even for you. A short list of what I think is evil: Hacking out the clitoris of a little girl is evil, especially when the mother and sisters hold her down while she begs you to stop. Handing Indians blankets infected with smallpox, especially when they think you are their friend. Lynching a black child for whistling at a white woman is evil, especially when the sheriff and the judge stand by and laugh. Diluting cancer drugs until they are worthless and then selling them is evil, especially if you are the trusted pharmacist that specializes in cancer drugs. Fraudulently inflating the balance sheet of a corporation while you skim off billions is evil, especially if you require your employees to overweight the stock in their retirement plans. No?

we are not talking about dissecting the intellectual aspects of Evil and its many connotations or how Sarte or Kant or Russell or Socrates may have viewed it.... we are talking about an Evil that administers torture, killing, starvation,insane inhuman treatment of ones fellow man as compared to the relative freedom that you and I live in. It is not a complicated issue requiring vast amounts of reading and deep thought, surley you must know what is Evil and what is Good.............
