I kinda feel like you do Fljotsdale. I mean, I may feel certain rodents or bugs as pests, but I try not to kill them. To tell the truth, the only thing I hate is HATE. If something or someone is evil, I am viscious in supportng the pursuance of their deaths (sorry but that is the way I feel). But things like Animals and bugs, well, they don't have the intelligence to be deceitful, or intentionally evil, they just are trying to survive. Nothing wrong with that, if they didn't have that endurance, then they would go extinct, and our planet would suffer for that in many ways, depending on the "species," cause every species has its place, and it purpose. But evil, well, different story. Our planet, our world, will do just fine without evil. And evil isn't something that you can deal lightly with, if anything, Evil needs a bit of what Larry has to dish out LOL.! In my opinion, at least right now, tonight, I would have no problem seeing the Taliban drowned, flushed out, and beheaded. Fit for them. And a huge favor for the world, and goodness all round. Evil will always be evil, you cannot change these people, only take them out so they cannot harm anyone anymore...
