"Though the topic of evil has historically been the domain of religion,[3] Peck makes great efforts to keep much of his discussion on a scientific basis, explaining the specific psychological mechanisms by which evil operates. He was also particularly conscious of the danger of a psychology of evil being misused for personal or political ends.[3] Peck considered that such a psychology should be used with great care, as falsely labeling people as evil is one of the very characteristics of evil. He argued that a diagnosis of evil should come from the standpoint of healing and safety for its victims, but also with the possibility even if remote, that the evil themselves may be cured." pstp psy phil http://www.scientificamerican.com/article..., 3 -22 sort The people of the lie dealing with inconvenient truths? - Thomas Page

The Shadow radio program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" spoken by actor Frank Readick Jr., has earned a place in the American idiom. These words were accompanied by an ominous laugh. At the end of each episode The Shadow reminded listeners that, "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay...
