Bush was pretty bad at being a person. He'd have made a great monkey though.

funny you should say that- in japan 2 decades back, the senior shrub went to japan and puked in the prime minister's lap. after that, the japanese took great humor out of a japanese comedian's pet monkey [named "bush-san"] that he trained to pretend to faint and vomit.

i guess i'm just trying to identify some kind of measure of badness, 'evil' or immorality. kinda like "was hitler 'worse' than stalin and if so why?" what makes these various acts wrong, i guess more logically than emotionally.. because my emotional response would be, i think, something like 'they're all bad it doesn't matter'.. hmm i'm not entirely sure what i'm asking, trying to analyse, define and identify why actions are bad and how their severity is or can be judged.? not sure if i'm making sense to anyone :/ also trying to guess what IOW means lol


"IOW" = In Other Words. IOW, it's a useful shorthand for the typing-challenged folk such as myself. and you are spot-on in your suggestion that good and evil are quite complicated [sometimes].
