Hmm, I see your point. Still, it seems almost too extreme. As food for
thought, take "Good Omens" by Neil Gamin <sp?> and Terry Pratchet. I really
really need to read the book, but the prologue is hilarious (the angel is
the bad guy and the snake is the good one!). Of course they write satire and
that's the point, but they illuminate the way that good intentions can go
ill and even evil can bring about good. You know what I mean?
