100 Most Evil People that ever lived.

[ER]

Has anybody put Donald Harvey on the list? Heck, did I long ago? I should check but too tired.

If not, then can I submit him for number eighty-eight?

I guess someone like Donald Harvey brings up the question, is everyone who commits horrific deeds evil? Was Harvey evil (his actions certainly were) or is a better word "twisted"? Maybe evil requires sanity and a recognition that what one is doing rejects the notions of goodness, and yet one willingly descends into the state of evil? I'm not sure people like Donald Harvey or H.H. Holmes or Jeffrey Dahmer begin on a level playing field and so may not be evil, even if they do evil. After all, there is such a thing as insanity.

To say someone is evil....well, are we judged on who or what we are, or are we judged by what we do, and the deeds are what defines evil, more than the doer?

Maybe?

89.? HERNAN CORTES ("Cortez The Killer")

90. Whoever invented black licorice.

91. Girolamo Savonarola
92. Tomas de Torquemada

[ER]

93, Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, Stalin's right-hand man, head of state security and internal affairs in the USSR.

Beria was  a serial rapist, a sadist, a corrupt and cruel man, and many think he was intended to be Stalin's posthumous "revenge" on the world, since it was expected by many, especially Beria himself, that Beria would be Stalin's successor.

The executioner who put him down the summer after Stalin's death did a very good day's work.

The portrayal of him in DEATH OF STALIN was brilliant, and spot-on!
All the Politburo members loathed him.

94. Vladimir Putin


Putin quoted Russian writer Leo Tolstoy just the other day.  : "There's no happiness in life, only a mirage of it on the horizon." Such a cheerful piece of s**t.
That scumbag is twisting Tolstoy into some weird s**t.
Putin is saying "Your life is not going to get better-deal with it."
Scumbag.

One thing Putin is NOT is an idiot.  The man is ruthless, evil, opportunistic, and cynical - but he's clever, perhaps even brilliant.  He's remained at the top in Russia for 20 years now, no easy task.  And, for all his wickedness, he's generally effective and pragmatic.  He's outlasted every U.S. President this century and will outlast this one, too, I suspect.

"Idiot" is a great insult for a man like putin, of course, I chose it because of alliteration.  Reconsidering, he is an idiot when it comes to right and wrong.

95. Thomas Midgley.

The man whose two most famous inventions have been responsible for a number of deaths that can only be guessed at, not to mention the environmental damage they inflicted. There is evidence that he was at least aware of the potential health risks of adding lead to petrol but ignored them under pressure from his employers, although I'd say he can be given a pass for using CFC's in refrigerators as it wasn't known back then how much damage that would cause. I doubt he set out to kill anyone and I thought long and hard about wither he should be on this list, but as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

It is perhaps oddly fitting that he himself died as a result of one of his inventions when he got caught up in some of its ropes and was strangled.
