Evil plays in the big leagues. Auschwitz. Pol Pot. Mao's horrors. Stalin's deliberate famines. The Rape of Nanking. Our own decimation of the Native Americans. The wholesale slaughter of Africans by the European powers. We are talking big numbers, people. We are talking about the inconceivably horrible things that human beings have coldly and methodically done to one another, for the most part without significant opposition. Human beings are, let's be honest, a genetic disaster, and the greatest and most virulent virus this world has ever seen. Someday we will go all the way, and finish the job. And nature will breathe a sigh of relief, and the zebras shall dance in the wilds.
