we had been losing our sense of connectedness to nature and connectedness to each other.

but we are starting to gain an awareness of our universal energy and its singular nature.

things feel very messed up and barbaric and unevolved; not because they are getting worse or because they havent gotten better, but because we have become aware of the way things should be better.

we are losing the pride we once would feel about things outside our control (heritage, race/ethnicity, national origin, wealth of parents/inheritance, name, facial/bone structure, etc)

less people celebrate the soldier and more people disagree with glorifying violent retribution.

people are beginning to value independent thought, question the men of power, and fewer trust authority for authority's sake

things are getting better.

Did you have your bunny suit on when you wrote that bollocks?

All good people have to do, is be consistent, yet many times nobody really gives a damn about how good you are. And evil people often run over good folks like a Mack truck hitting a deer...
Good people are often exploited, far more than evil people are pursecuted. 

All evil people have to worry about is a few good people standing up to them...but usually evil people tend to get their way for awhile, how ever long...
They tend to enjoy the riches, the pleasures of world...yet good people are content with the scraps.
Look at the governments of today's world---one could say each one is a hotbed of subversive evil.

Are there degrees of evilness and goodness? And where do they cross?
And yet it takes *one* act of goodness to stun you.   ;)  :)

Satan engineered physical existence. The carbon 12 atom comprise physical life in the universe as we know it and it is his creation, because it makes up man and beast, and it has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Just look it up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-12

Silicon based life might be the escape, and the first step in self determined evolution by uploading the minds to mainframe computers. This might be the only chance at escaping Satan.

Evolution and the natural laws makes forms of physical existence evil.

We have to chose to be good. You've chosen.

Nonsense. Those are the guys who walk across the yard and try to convince themselves of such.

You know I love witty Woody quotes tho.

I'm a little wrathful sometimes but I'm probably not quite the worst guy the world has had to endure.  Don't put much stock in this good & evil nonsense.  Life is long.  Even Mother Teresa hurt someone's feelings at some point.  IME people are basically just trying to get by and suffer from bouts of opportunism.

I've found people that are up to evil have nearly always convinced themselves they are doing good.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sweet, E-Kul.

I suppose if there's any consolation to be found, it's that nearly everyone at least has a desire to do right.  So now we can only wish that every person was reasonable.
