| I don't really consider evil a word to be used in the real world. Evil to me has always personified something like the devil or something mythical. I don't think you could even class human beings as evil, we kill and be killed etc which are merely evil acts but evil, true evil is persistent. I don't believe that evil acts necessarily define humans beings as evil. For someone to be classed as truely evil he would have to go out of his way to create pain and misery on the largest scale he possibly could and make it his sole goal in life for his entire life. Even GW and Osama who have probably caused the greatest amount of deaths in the last few years can't really be defined as evil. Take hitler for example, evil? Not really...again, responsible for a great deal of deaths but he probably was doing what he thought was right for Germany and for humanity. If it wasn't for his methods I would say creating a superior human being was a worthy goal and one I'm sure will be revisited sooner or later once genetic science allows easy reliable gene therapy, his only problem was he wanted to see it in his lifetime and he concentrated on physical appearance rather than breeding out defects. So to sum up evil is not really a concept to be applied to humans IMO.
I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs and insanity for everyone, but its always worked for me.
