If There Is No Good, and No Evil...

Then there is no check on your actions but your own character. Character seems to be in short supply today. Ex-Northwestern University professor Wyndham Lathem gets 53 years in killing boyfriend in River North - Chicago Sun-Times

Well, the rule of law is supposed to be check on the actions of people, but that is in short supply in a lot of places.

He was a university professor and microbiology researcher. He killed his boyfriend - stabbed him 70 times - as part of some sexual fantasy. Because in world where there is no good and evil why not? Personally, I call this evil.

Cook County Judge Charles Burns called the killing of Trenton Cornell “cold-blooded,” “calculated” and an “execution” as he sentenced Lathem to 53 years in prison.

At the time of his arrest in 2017, he was an associate professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois. And in case you were not clear on the standing of Northwestern, Feinberg School of Medicine ranked 15th among American medical schools for research by U.S. News & World Report in 2022.

So how does someone working as a researcher in microbiology at a top university throw it all overboard for some twisted fantasy? And people continue to maintain that there is no evil in the world.
