I'd like to think we are beyond petty terms like evil, but the human species continues to confound me.
Personally, I'd prefer to enjoy my life and read. I'd suggest if you really want to change something, get people to read even 1 book of substance in
their lives. You might set the example by reading and promoting that. People will form their own opinions, but if you point them towards knowledge
they can.
However, simply railing again evil accomplishes nothing, and even the labeling creates defined pitfalls that will stymie your efforts at every turn.
Celente is right, people are babies that don't seem to want to face the real world or make tough choices. I long ago gave up the crusade to save the
world or nation, but rather to simply do my part to inspire my children and grow my mind and to even speak out when I could in my limited fashion. I
refuse to live in the dire world panicked children weave.
Idealism is for children in my mind, and I don't mean any insult by that at all because we all must start out as children. Mentally, once one has
woken they are children for a good many years before they put those emotions and knowledge into some kind of rational framework if they even can.
Many can not and therefore are of little use other than bulking up the numbers of the influential. This is dangerous indeed.
One last thing, be careful when "wakening" others lest you create more "True Believers". Eric Hoffer has a good book on the topic, to sort of get
started.
Good luck
