<p>I believe, and have strong empirical evidence for my believe,
that the <br>
vast majority of people are good. We would not survive as a
species<br>
if this would not be the case. <br>
</p>
<p>As is probably evident, I do enjoy having complicated
conversations <br>
with interesting people. What I noticed over the years is, that
even <br>
intrinsically good people can get behind ideas that are
intrinsically bad<br>
or even inhumane. <br>
</p>
<p>As I noted elsewhere</p>
<p><i>Evil is not winning because good people do nothing, evil is
winning because</i><i><br>
</i><i> good, talented, intelligent people have been manipulated
to work [one way or <br>
another]</i><i> for its goals.</i></p>
<p>I don't know you personally and may have misjudged you, on a 2nd
read I did<br>
form that sentence in a very aggressive, accusing way. <br>
</p>
Sorry for letting my hotheadednes take the better of me. The point
that <br>
I was trying to get across is, well, put in <i>italics</i> above. <br>
