[Tootle]

Jay:

Excellent point.  

I was trying to illustrate that there are different degrees of evil.  While
this terroist has no visible connections to killers, the organization he
founded, 'weathermen underground', was responsible for death and bodily
injury to others.  If you are a conspirator you are just as bad as the
weatherman who did arson with injury.  

In answer to you, I would say they are equally evil.  I would say Mr. Ayers
is evil.  Read his statement.

Are you saying that after having had to deal with evil that you are willing
to look the other way to a conspirator of evil.  That is my problem, after
having dealth with evil men, I cannot look the other way.  I just make sure
that I am far enough away for personal safety.

Some evil men work thru others, to me that does not make them less evil. Did
Hitler put anybody in a gas chamber himself?  I say he was evil. The
'weathermen underground' did evil acts and Ayers was a cofounder.

Furthermore, I believe in the death penalty for those who murder or commit
bodily harm in the conduct of crime.

Recently, Thomas Sowell whom I have quoted often wrote a columun justifying
high salaries for CEO's.  I say that is fine as long as no crimes were
committed.  If the CEO tolarated fraud or even did not have good accounting
practices to detect fraud, they do not deserve the high compensation.  They
were not doing their job.  They are part of fraud.

Tolerating evil is equally bad as the evil done.  Obama tolerated an evil
man.
