CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

After dropping Teach off in Houston, Hairy went home to his Chicago Penthouse to brood about his battle against evil. He was in a philosophical funk because he had become confused about the definition of evil. Cultures, religions, nations, historical times, all have different concepts about the nature of evil. If there is not a consensus of opinion on the subject, how do you decide which are the greater evils to attack? Hairy was pretty sure he was justified in attacking the Big Bankers and the Illegal Drug Cartels but he was having a difficult time deciding on which kind of evil should be the next one to go after.

Questions about “good and evil” have to do with morality and that is also a very fuzzy subject. Morality refers to a code of conduct put forward by a society or a group, such as a religion, or accepted by an individual for his own behavior.  “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is an ideal morality code for rational people. However, not all people are rational. And then, how do you define rational? Lots of loop holes and uncertainties to deal with! Hairy came to the decision that political leaders, such as Adolf Hitler, who start unjust wars between nations, are probably at the top of the “Evil List”. However, Hairy did not think he was ready to take on such a momentous task so he decided to look for a less challenging project. Maybe bars that put water in their top shelf whiskies would be a good one?
