Getting back to assessing a persons moral compass: I'm starting to think that a person who has never done an "official" bad thing would be lesser in my eyes than one who might have done a bad thing and been repentant. If, say their moral compass seemed to indicate that they have a very uncaring attitude (for example). In my eyes the person who just goes through life getting what they can and never giving a thought to anyone besides themselves... the person who shrugs and turns away from suffering.... the person who can distance himself from any kind of responsibilty eg to the planet... all these things are pretty minor compared to say killing someone. But the oblivious self centered individual doesn't get off the hook just because he hasn't hit the head-lines. I would sooner call the killer a better person if they showed genuine remorse and had gained insight. The dead-soul "man on the street" in my eyes is more of a concern.

LOL now does THAT make any sense?
