What do you think, is taking sides a bad thing to do or only an unnecessary thing to do? When most things are both/and rather than either/or is it silly to choose sides or just plain old evil?

And on the subject of evil...

EVIL:is it a necessary evil or is it good that it's necessary or is it necessarily even evil?

Going down the road that says evil isn't evil is the best way to end up curled up in the corner convinced that the world doesn't exist. Saing the common definition of evil is misguided or inaccurate is one thing, but attempting to prove 1 != 1 is not on my To Do list.

Evil is what would go against a peaceful existence, then? Is it a necessary thing... or just a thing?

Woops, wrong board.

In case any one is interested in this (what I like to call "fictitious") entity known as "EVIL", go here and look for Zen & The Art of "Who Cares?" PART 2 (9/19/2001 7:55:42 PM ). Not to shamelessly self-promote, but I didn't want to clog up the board, especially a MUSIC message board. (I initially was thinking this was ILE).

I sense a Philosophy debate on the way

'The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis' - Dante or Boccaccio?

I'm not neutral on these terrorist issues, if that's what you mean, dave. I believe in "the greater good", an eye for an eye sort of stuff. Even if America's foreign policy isn't what it should be, terrorizing innocent citizens goes against what the majority of us are trying to achieve here on earth. If the kids can't play nice in the sandbox, they won't be allowed to play in the sandbox.

Well, I wasn't directing anything at anybody specifically.
