When Hitler was sliding into power he didn't tell people to burn the Jews in ovens, at least not right away. Don't ever forget history, even if it is painfull or shamefull. If we don't learn from it we are doomed to repeat it.
edit: yikes, I have alowed myself to be drawn off topic.
Hmm, back on topic. Evil. yes I would say yes, it does exist.
Can it be measured?
Is it alive? It can lie dormant for years, even decades, it is contagious, it can spread from one person to another.
Can I see it? I can see the effects of it.
These types of topics, especially on internet forums either get derailed into heated arguments about countries and history or we get all wrapped up in somantics. Issues like this are measured on an emotional level using our personal perceptions of the world around us.
My mother has a spice jar on her stove that says "Love." Using the scientific method that jar is always empty but just thinking about it now fills me with something that can't be measured or placed in a jar. Is it any less real?

Wise words.
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...."
