We are not obligated to forego self-defense. It's just that looking at things differently may lead to different ways of dealing (while still being careful)...

Since I'm an honest person and haven't met every single one of these individuals, then I can't say with certainty. I don't know if they'll come up with a way to deal with this. I would imagine it's not just people who don't have the ability to feel empathy and I don't know why they do what they do. Maybe that's why it's easier to call it evil. I also want to note - I'm not branding all psychopaths or sociopaths evil - most of them are too smart to make mistakes. Even if we find a way to stop or prevent wrong doers...it's won't stop this dynamic pull that's existed as long as man.

I can understand the article and the premise to a point but then it gets confusing and frustrating for me. This is off topic but there's no cure for pedophelia - no successful treatment, which is scary and frustrating. If we don't use the term evil - then what are we supposed to call it? If someone can tell me an alternative term, then I'm willing to listen.
