Evil can't be scientifically defined: it's an illusory moral concept that doesn't exist in nature. Its origins and connotations have been inextricably been linked to religion and mythology.

Logic dictates that if you believe in one, you have to reconcile the existence of the other.

In many ways Churchill remained a nineteenth-century man, and by no means a common man. He fit the mold of what Henry James called in English Hours βpersons for whom the private machinery of ease has been made to work with extraordinary smoothness.

His effect on men is one of interest and curiosity, not of admiration and loyalty. His power is the power of gifts, not character. Men watch him, but do not follow him

After Standard Oil Company founder John D. Rockefeller became the richest man in the world, he offered gardening advice to a group of young men at a Brown University Bible study. He told his admiring audience, βThe American Beauty Rose can be produced in the splendor and fragrance which bring cheer to its beholder only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it. This is not an evil tendency in business. It is merely the working-out of a law of nature and a law of God.β Rockefeller's audacious winner-take-all metaphor about the American Beauty rose was a description of how Standard Oil had bested its competitors. The clumsy reference to God at the end of the remarks was a meager attempt to morally sanction the ideas of philosopher Herbert Spencer, who had recently seduced the robber baron community by adapting scientific ideas like βsurvival of the fittestβ into a loose form of Social Darwinism that defined Gilded Age business.

Mother Superior of the Sisters of Mercy herself was lying in wait for Jane at the foyer. "You
have to keep in mind we only can restock our supplies once a month. Frankly, it always stresses
our supplies of medications when Mr. Rogers is having a streak of bad luck. With fighting
breaking out right and left..."
"Mother Superior, this is Nigel Reid. Nigel, Mother Superior is head of the nuns that oversee
this hospital. Anyone attacked by a monster is brought here to be treated."
Which of course was all that took. TV hosts were kind of like napalm. You threw them at any
major infestation and they cleaned out the area of all hostiles.
Nigel lit up as if introduced to Santa Claus. "Oh, how simply wonderful to meet you!"
Taggart caught what she had done and his eyes glittered with his smile. "That was pure evil."
"Judicial use of resources is always appropriate.

Then what's he doing here?"
"Trying to get eaten!" Jane turned to face Chloe square on. "Taggart is here is with world
famous naturalist, Nigel Reid, to film a network show called Chased by Monsters. They want to
film Nigel coming face to face with Elfhome wildlife and hopefully surviving the experience."
She let her sarcasm drip through since most Pittsburghers were slightly disdainful of newcomers.
"If any of Channel Five's viewers hears of any monsters in the Pittsburgh-area β other than
reporter Chloe Polanski β please let us know.
