Don't take this the wrong way... But how many of you have got out from behind your keyboards and seen evil with you own eyes?
How many of you have seen a cross burning, surrounded by men in white robes and hoods? How many of you have seen a man lynched, and hung from a tree, after being savaged by a mob of men and dogs? And his only crime was his skin colour. Have any of you ever seen one human being set another human being on fire and watch them burn? How many of you have watched mob mentality take over and the tragedy that usually follows? How many of you have ever had to sit in the back of a bus, drink from a different water fountian, use a different restroom, eat at a different lunch counter, and were denied access or entry to many places that you would like to go simply because you were different? Has anybody here experienced this? Hmm? Has anybody ever experience this evil for themselves? Or are they safe and secure and have never experience the harsh realities of this world, giving them plenty of time to sit around and debate if evil exists? It has been my experience that the very people that question evil's existence either have never seen it for themselves due to a very sheltered life, or are a source of evil themselves.
Just something to chew on. Think about it for a bit. A simple reminder, lest we forget.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
