It fun to try to define topics such as Hate Crime without parroting? media lines. It's amazing how much information is quoted directly without verification from the Associated Press guidelines and storybook. |

Thanks, Mr. President! It's been a great honor to have you with us. I'm sure if CliffordAdams is developing the White House wiki, he'll have plenty of people to satisfy Wikipedia feature requests. So we don't mind at all! All the best, Larry Sanger. |

I suppose I might call it evil relativism. That is to say, evil is simply any event which lowers one's enjoyment (in the most general sense) - the lower half of our happiness scale. If we eliminated everything we consider evil - natural as well as man-made, *we* would certainly notice the difference. But say the temperature still was allowed to vary from 50 degrees F in the winter to 85 degrees F in the summer, and that one being caught outside in winter without a coat was the most unpleasant thing that ever might happen to us. We would probably never complain (indeed, many of us would relish that rare feeling of goosebumps), but would not our grandchildren consider this the most extreme possible evil?
If one accepts this argument, that evil is perceived relatively and is part of any effable universe, would this not nullify argument 4?

It is also fun to try to define these topics without relying on press release journalism - (my term for news articles that almost directly rewrite a press release without any critical examination of the things stated in the press release). Probabally, the number one reason why the current media fails to objectively report the news. Low admission/graduation criteria for journalism schools contributes also.
