Greetings o' evil ones.

I am not even going to try to match the level of evilness that you folks put
out here, and I bow to your true wickedness, yet I wish to share a story that
some of you might appreciate.

The evil in this story isn't exactly the overt, hack-and-slash, in-your-face
kind of evil;  It's more subtle and cover, yet still there, hidden just beneath
the surface.

But then, that's the best kind, eh?

This is a story about a country.  This country was one of the largest and most
technologically advanced on its planet.  It was a leading superpower, and few
could challenge it.

This particualr country was teeming with millions of evil and wicked people.
Oh, most of them thought that they were nice, but you know how that goes...
The leaders of this country were the true evil ones.
They passed laws and legislation and made deals both legal and illegal to get
what they wanted, and no one who stood in their way would last long.
Some of the things about this country, and things that this country did:

Despite its size, power, and democratic politics, this was one of very few
countries on its planet not to have national health insurance.  The result of
this is that the country let many innocent people die merely because they were
not wealthy.

For example, suppose you were a resident of this country, and were assailed
by a bunch of good people when you tried to mug a little old lady.  These
"nice" people mess you up pretty good when you fight back, and you are shot and
stabbed multiple times.  If you don't get medical care quick, you are going to
die.  Not that you are afraid of death, mind you, but you'd rather stick around
and spread more evil for awhile longer.

So, an ambulance is called to take you to the hospital.  Inside, the medics
call the hospital to let them know you are on your way so they will know what
to expect.  Instead of readying a room for surgery, they instead ask the medics
to search through your wallet for an insurance card.
You don't have one.  "Don't bring him here," the hospital replies, "We can't
treat him and we don't need people dying on our front porch.  That's bad PR".
So, the driver heads for another hospital.  The same thing happens.  After
4 hospitals reject you, you die on the way to the 5th.
What a way to reduce the population of your own country, eh?!!?  I'm sure you
all appreciate the genius of the people in charge of this country in quietly
murdering its own citizens.

The brilliant leaders of this same  country adopt a short-term economic view as
well, selling to foriegn competitors for a quick buck, since hey, they'll be
dead in 100 years, what do they care if the country is still around or not,
right?  They shape laws and rules which benefit foriegn competitors and place
heavy restrictions on domestic ones.  They sell parts of their own country for
quick profit.  They invest overseas.  They allow their own industries to wither
and die, putting millions out of work.  Those industries that survive are
allowed to continue operating although many are unsafe for the employees and
produce products which are of poor quality and are unsafe for the population
which uses them.  Brilliant!!!  No one can pin anything on anyone.

This country also has a creedo, "Rule by the people, for the people", and
prides itself on being a bastion of freedom and equality.
Yet this country is torn by racial and sexual prejudice which is allowed to run
rampant, with naught but a few token attempts at laws to control the hatred.
This country, through undercover operatives, has interfered in foriegn affairs
by intimidating or killing foriegn leaders who support democracy.  They have
replaced these benign rulers with tyrannical dictators, simply because these
evil rulers are more inclined to favor the mythological country economically
and may be willing to perform some favors for the country which the country
doesn't want to be connected with.

The best thing about this is that no one seriously attempt to pin anything on
those responsible for these atrocities. (Forgive my poor spelling.)
The citizens of this country merely went about their business, ignoring all the
evil around them, thinking that it didn't affect them, and thusly was not
important, or that they really couldn't do anything about it anyway.
Those that were bothered still didn't make many waves:  The evil raged on
unabated.  A few that couldn't take it killed themselves.  Most of the rest
just turned to chemical pleasures to blot the evil from their minds.  Any who
were left to rock the boat were ignored, beaten, or (if especially successful
at calling attention to what the leaders were getting away with), assassinated
by minions of the government of the country.

Imagine!  An entire country in which you, the readers of this group, could
reside in and perform all kinds of delicious unspeakable acts of evil, and
get away with it!  With few goody-goody preachers to get in your way!
And those that do, well, you can eliminate them in some enjoyable way, and
you probably won't be bothered by any of the already overworked law enforcement
agents of the country, most of whom are too hardened by the horror to care
anymore anyway.

Alas, such a place does not exist.

If it did, I wonder... Would you, evil reader, like to visit there with me?
I, perhaps, would be one of the slugs, the people who turn their head and
ignore your hideous acts, since the mind can block out almost anything it
cannot accept.  And you could get away with murder, and worse.
Not to worry.  All the while, most of the rest of us will be doing the same, or
not having much of an effect stopping you, or erasing our minds with chemical
assistance, de-evolving back into the substance which rhymes with my name...

Ahhhhhhhh!!!  Too bad such a dreamy place does not exist.  I shall look forward
to reading further exploits of your evil acts in our poor world here, however,
since we must live with what we have.  But at least you can dream that such
a place as I have mentioned above existed...
