"Evil" Has No Place In Law

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
3/9/05 -
Every time I hear a "politician" say the word "evil" I cringe mentally. It disgusts me. There's no place for the word "evil" in law. This mentality is a huge problem for a world with separate governments with different international interests.

What is the opposite of "evil"? I bet most people will say "good". So what is the opposite of "bad"? Again, most people will probably say "good". So what is the difference between "bad" and "evil"? Essentially in the dictionary they are the same thing, but in the reality of the usage of the words in every day life, it is my opinion that the word "evil" is used to describe actions and ideas that people believe the word "bad" will not be significant to describe the scenario or issue. In these cases the idea is graduated to "evil". I guarantee you there is many other words that can be used instead of the word "evil"; terrible, awful, mean, destructive, sick, self-abasing, etc. The only place the word "evil" should be used is in fictional super-hero comics.

So when I hear certain unnamed politicians talking about "The Axis of Evil" I get sick to my stomach. How can you be such an exhibitionist with your arrogance? Through ignorance? Isn't name calling "evil" also? Isn't it childish? This statement was obviously chosen to stimulate the fundamentalist types, to rally their brutish mentalities to accept whatever the leader "fighting" against "The Axis of Evil" decides will be the new norm of that time.

I would like to end by saying that the word "evil" has no place in politics or law. It absolutely should never be used. Hey, Bushy boy, use your brain, try this, "The Axis of States against the American Hegemony". Let's be real to our people for once. If you always present the facts that will cause the least amount of civil unrest regardless of what the truth is, that's not democracy. How can the people be in control of a government they know no truth about? Maybe we should try a new name, The Republic of United States.
