What if I force you into feeding starving children? Or coerce you into discovering the cure for cancer? Is this still evil?

What if you voluntarily blow up a school filled with children? Is that not evil?

Not to mention that almost any social mammal in existence is evil, since authority - and forceful if need be - is a key element in their social interaction. (Yes for anyone that wonders, that includes humans - we're primates, do the math.)

Yeah, until an AC'ist explained it to me, I didn't realize how evil my parents were to me while I was growing up.

"Eat your vegetables, Hopey...time for bed Hopey...don't run out into traffic Hopey" - pure evil, I tell ya!
