You didn“t, Lee :-*

injest:
yes she did. she said we all would be in prison if evil people had to be imprisoned. That means she considers ALL evil to be equal and we are all equally guilty.

Maybe instead of locking them all up, we should just hang a few of the worst offenders, pour encourager les autres.


--- Quote ---I would probably be behind bars, since a person just called me "evil" recently, when I got out my Tarot deck to do a reading.

No, it doesn't mean that. It means that anybody can call anybody else evil and since the definition of evil seems to be in the eye of the beholder (and includes things like Tarot reading) then people would just denounce each other and we would all be in the same boat. Go back to the Salem witch-hunts, it was the same thing.
