Can't? Let's see now... 'Bill Gates is evil'. Yup, I did it. Obviously we
can call people evil without getting blasted by lightning bolts from above.

Frankly, I couldn't care less about whether evil people consider me rude.

So what? In his case he's just another borganist who wants a wonderful
future society where everyone thinks just like him and all dissension has
vanished. That's a pretty damn evil suggestion, as far as I'm concerned,
since I -- and everyone I know -- have to die in order for it to happen.
Seriously, you don't think that wanting to replace the diversity of life
with bazillions of clones of yourself is evil?
