      You say your country can't handle lots of immigration? Maybe you're right. I also suspect your country is too stupid for that, if it believes haircuts should require licenses. But if you're not *horrified* by leaving behind so many sapients to suffer or die, you might be evil.

      Am I being unfair? Perhaps I am. Maybe the defect is in the mind and not the soul, maybe you couldn't look a mother and her child in the eye and tell them to stay out without tears, and it's just that your mind hasn't connected that to 'limited immigration'. But it's also...

      ...a politically inconvenient thought, if you oppose more immigration. Even if your country really couldn't handle it, even if your country is dumb enough to have zoning boards and occupational licenses everywhere and it's easy for new voters to vote for more statism, there's...

      ...sure some people being left behind and screwed over by that, while you're not being screwed over. At what point does a mind that just happens to overlook all the damage and not visualize it or think about it, start to count as evil? It confuses me, honestly, I'd know to...

      ...or something else for which English just lacks words, something that maybe does far more damage than evil, to be held to even greater blame, except that blame is the wrong fire to hold to it because the soul doesn't see anything it could be doing wrong? I don't know, I...
