The ultimate weakness of violence is that
it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.

*Sigh* Solane... Gotta say you try to make it all so darned simple then what it really is.

It is not the negitive actions that is the factor; It is control. Sure darkness cannot change the overall effects of an already imposed darkness but people find comfort in the fact that the their darkness which is superimposing ther other darkness is the one THEY control and thus can use it to impose their wills as on to others. And make no darned mistake about it; with a finitie number of resources upon this planet, that will NEVER change (unless we find a way to colonize about a billion other Earths or something Lol!)
