You know, I figured out why I'm so uncomfortable with you and goobster gleeing over Ailes' death. I have trouble comprehending that there are truly bad people in the world sometimes. Things, too. Not merely gray, but mostly dark, all the way to black. I think it clashes with my worldview in some ways.

I think I couldn't have viewed Hitler as an abhorrent danger to humanity that he's presented as, had I lived through his war in Europe. He's still a person, you know. His actions were terrible and their results - astonishingly horrific, but he was still a human being. I feel like I have to have some compassion for him just for that.
