I think I get less and less comfortable with the concept of evil in that way Smokey. There acts that I despise but again in my personal woes have a "there but for the grace of God go I".

Believe me it is incredibly hard when if like me you have found yourself in jail for 30hrs accused of a rape that did not exist (she got 6 months youth detention for lying and I had never met her and I had not had sex with anyone at that time - I was 37 before that came to me and then I get someone with a boyfriend in prison) it is incredibly hard living with "there is no smoke without fire" but these are places I have been.

Evil though, from my very personal stance and these days, I try (and can fail to) blame what I would call the evil one rather than the person. It is hard. Often too hard for me.
