Evil

Re: Man alleged to have killed 19 in S. Korea

I saw the coverage of this story last night on Korean news. An "expert" was brought out who placed the blame on the usual suspects; "Society, education, and the breakdown of the family are to blame for these crimes." My wife countered, "In what country do such crimes not occur?" She was right. It was not society, nor education, nor the family, nor the Korean government who were to blame for these killings; the murderer, in choosing evil, bears sole responsibility.
