 bignosemousie says: Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael Stone developed a hierarchy of "evil." I heard about this watching the show Most Evil on TLC. I think we need a scale of depravity as well. I've always wondered what has happened in the dark recesses of the human soul that motivates people (mostly men) to randomly seek out victims, torture and murder them. Cooey comes to mind. Totally and completely sick. When their depravity reaches this point, your family and mine should be forever protected and free from their 'evil' compulsions. We quickly kill a rabid dog, raccoon or other animal that is uncontrollable in their crazed state (and since humans are evolved animals) why the hesitancy to deal with these in much the same way?

Just because the illness is the cause doesn't make the behavior less objectionable, just makes the person less responsible. I think it really depends on the definition of evil. |
