He very well might have been affective paranoid schizophrenic borderline personality and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

But then again, I would be equally unsurprised if he was a Youth Minister and Vice-President of the Kiwanis Club.

That's a tender line for me that I have not yet formulated in my mind sufficiently. I think that the word and concept of 'evil' is a wonderful method of avoiding responsibility, for avoiding discourse and honest examination. Saying that Nazis were 'evil' and leaving it at that is an immeasurable disservice to those who suffered under Nazi Germany. Glossing over the intricacies and subtle power of historical pseudo-science, propaganda, etc. only allows them to reoccur.

But at the same time I come up blank so many times. And all I'm left with is, "Well, hell...the guy's evil."
