     I mean exactly the same thing a you :-)


     I dare to add a comment.


     Aldous Huxley is the author of a historic narrative "The devils of 
Loudun". At the end, the author draws a moral wich summarizes like this:


     If you ever try to fight the devil head-on, it always turn on that 
you play in his favour. The only way to actually fight the bad is to do 
the good.


     Cheers.
