"Maybe I can help: There is no limit to human depravity."

It's nice to see a fellow conservative with an appropriate estimation of human nature on these boards--counteracts all the "perfect world if we only had total freedom" libertarians.

What is it about conservatives that keeps them from grasping the concept of the "OFF" button?

But there is also no limit to human goodness, no limit to the heights to which we can soar. Love, honor, kindness, courage, love of truth, and especially love of God are as basically human as is depravity, perhaps moreso. If a potential Hitler or Osama bin Laden lurks in each of us, so does a potential Todd Beamer or Mother Theresa.
