but a lot of good can (and I'm sure has) come out of treating people as things/objects. evil exists more when people are treated as things in a bad context (which is subjective)

Ok. Give an example.

Oh and evil is subjective? Well thanks for that :P

Rats live on no evil star.

Fritz Leiber uses this one in one of his Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories, I believe.  ;)

I think he may well have done, it has been hanging about in the recesses of my mind for some decades, unsure who first thought of it.

Yup, the palindrome has been referenced in various places a long time, and no doubt long predates his use - I just thought it was cool he used it.  ;)

One of my mates defined evil as mixing a twentyone year old single malt whisky with Fanta Orange.
