Killer Empathy
and
The Bad Show

As we continue to read Sailor, think about what questions you can ask about empathy and intrinsic evil in Sailor. Are their people who are inherently evil in this world and if so, can we forgive them? Just like in Crime and Punishment, are we supposed to learn to forgive "evil" characters so that we can forgive ourselves? Be ready to respond if the koosh comes for you!

You can practice your responses on your blogs, if you like. It can be seen that practice makes perfect. Wink, wink.
