"... better the devil you know than the devil you don't know ..."

The thing is that we both cannot know what the other side has to offer once all the mess is gone and the good is being allowed to come to light. Defining the unknown as more evil just because it is not known comes with a problem. It creates kind of a constant that will never change, because we don't allow the unknown to be discovered.

I know that you have a more cautious approach than most people here and that might be a good idea. First finding out in which world one feels more comfortable to live, instead of blindly following the masses in jumping off a cliff, has something to it... ^^
