That is sadly true.
I don't recall a time on FR when people were so unhinged over an issue.
From Amazon. The Banality of Evil......
Far from being evil incarnate, as the prosecution painted Eichmann, Arendt maintains that he was an average man, a petty bureaucrat interested only in furthering his career, and the evil he did came from the seductive power of the totalitarian state and an unthinking adherence to the cause. Indeed, Eichmann's only defense during the trial was "I was just following orders." (Much like Greer, and the Law)
Arendt's analysis of the seductive nature of evil is a disturbing one. We would like to think that anyone who would perpetrate such horror on the world is different from us, and that such atrocities are rarities in our world. But the history of groups such as the Jews, Kurds, Bosnians, and Native Americans, to name but a few, seems to suggest that such evil is all too commonplace. In revealing Eichmann as the pedestrian little man that he was, Arendt shows us that the veneer of civilization is a thin one indeed. ***********end excerpt************
Evil is always something to be worked up about.
That is not to say that what is happeing here is definitively Evil. However, Greer knew that this would be a highly controversial event, and never ordered any extensive testing, or recently informed medical opinions, because the written law didnt require him to.
Blind Adherence to the law, without conscience or discretion is what led Eichmann to the Gallows.
