This is evil.

I don't mean that like Google-don't-be-evil evil, which is a business practice one finds either unsavory or advantageous to competitors which one dislikes. I don't mean cartoonishly evil, like a villain killing someone to clue in anyone still wondering which character to root for after seeing the black cape and hearing the cackle. I don't mean hyperbolically evil, like the word carelessly thrown around when one's political opponents suggest +/- 3% changes in governmental policies.

I mean evil: characterized by sin, injurious to the proper ordering of society, an offense against the dignity of man, in contravention to the natural law as discoverable by reason. You could get a Catholic dogmatist, an atheist Marxist professor, and a hard-core libertarian together in a room, and they'd all call that evil. Their explanations would proceed from different and frequently incompatible axioms but they'd focus on the same parts of the act and come to strikingly reconcilable conclusions.
