In human interactions the there are many tides pushing and pulling, each driven by emotions, logic, and circumstances. This sounds like you are advocating "Intelligent Design". Life is too complex to figure out. What you are really talking about is letting emotions enter into the picture. What you are talking about is enabling the emotional jerks, as if they really had a valid point of view that should be considered. Take out the emotions and what is left is a tiny bit of logic. Anybody can understand it. Almost everybody in the world knows what is right and what is wrong. Have you ever heard of any kid in the world that says they want to grow up to be crooked? Or, that they want to grow up to steal from people? How many people in the world do you think there are that think Dick Cheney is more beautiful than Sean Connery? What happens to people like Clarence Thomas is that emotions are allowed to run amok. What happens to people like Antonin Scalia is that hubris is allowed to run amok. What happens to people like George W Bush is that denial is allowed to run amok. Truth is always simple and elegant. Chance (or luck) of course always enters the picture, but as it has often been said: The race may not always go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that is the way you bet.
