The web site “Evil Scale.com” allows you to rate individuals on the good/evil scale. Of course, George Bush wins the evil prize going away, scoring a substantially more evil score than his closest competition, Saddam Hussein. Number 3 on the list is Ronald Reagan, so that should tell you all you need to know about who visits this site.
Honorable mentions go to Stalin, Hitler, Cheney, and Colin Powell. Powell beats out Jeffrey Dahmer, Josef Mengele, Idi Amin, and Vlad the Impaler. Charles Manson is sandwiched between Donald Rumsfeld and Mike Huckabee. Scooter Libby edges out Lee Harvey Oswald.
Obama tops out the most good list, just nudging out George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ghandi, and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Smokey the Bear beats Harriet Tubman, and Jack Kervorkian beats Santa Claus. Jesus Christ ranks a paltry 37th, scoring lower the Dwight Eisenhower and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The Beatles beat God, Ron Paul tops JFK, and Gordon Lightfoot wins over the unfairly maligned Abominable Snowman.
Those who think our society has a problem distinguishing good and evil can find good anecdotal evidence here. Or maybe the problem is that kids need to turn off the computers and spend more time learning to play softball and musical instruments.
