Okay we don't share the same view of evil, or good for that matter.

It's too much effort/energy directed in the wrong place. Look, be cautious at all times, dont get me wrong, but the charge of "evil" agianst an individual hardly ever comes up. In world news (which beats up stories), I must've come across 3 or 4 people that were condsidered by a significant majority of the populace to be considered truly evil. I'm 36 and I realize that even just back in the fifties attitudes were much different.
The advent of psycologicical conselling and psychotherapy has dismissed much of what used to be considered "evil" as a sickness, and with godd results, too.
This matter delves into the very hearts of individuals, and I must admit, if my daughter were raped, it would be hard for me to not think of her attacker as "evil".
But emotions aside, I give people til about 35-40.
If they still act like jerks and consistently abuse their children and spouses , and I knew the facts FIRST HAND, i reckon by that age, its time to step in and belt the guy a couple back.
But even in that example, I would be hard pressed to label the bad husband as "evil"
