Hey guys I was not clear with my "logic sucks" post
I meant that logic will not work against a sick mind. I honestly believe that evil is simply due to a social sickness. Usually it begins at a young age, for a multitude of reasons.
There can be a perverse thrill from evil ,but it is outweighed (in healthy minds) by the rewards of doing good.
NOt that any of us are truly 100% healthy, since our DNA is coded with violent responses that have saved our ancestors' lives, but we have to choose the good path to have a positive part in our society.
What I meant was that logic is no defense against a sick mind.
And killing the guilty is wrong on many levels, as has been eloquently pointed out above, unless it is during an act of self-defense.
