Joining the conversation, if there's room :)

@masonwheeler with crazy being one pattern of behaviors, and evil being a different pattern? Measures of evil definitely relative to changing social standards James, if that is your meaning? Evils of today were more acceptable 2000 years ago ..

Several structural and semantic problems at work here, outlined in comments and in answers below. But there are important ethics problems struggling to get out, laced with psychological factors. Accountability an issue here, social rule systems (aka laws!) and maybe suspension of reason due to irrationality of human emotions. Logic and fallacy never had a chance. Maybe too many problems at once?
