Re: Do two wrongs make a right?
I think 99% of the evil in today's world is committed under the belief that what's being done is not evil.
An example is taxation. Those who support taxation truly believe that able-bodied hard-workers have a moral duty to share the fruits of their labor with lazy and/or unskilled people. To the extent that the haves don't give at a level of X in the form of Y to the have-nots, they are being evil and deserve to be punished by having their wealth taken at the point of a gun, according to taxation supporters. What is evil to you and me is justice to a large percentage of the population. This is the key issue IMO and not whether evil acts can lead to good or not.

Re: Do two wrongs make a right?
Yes, you're right on target.
Many people think evil acts are actually not evil. Of course, they'll tell you that men should be entitled to freedom and their property on the one hand, then turn right around and tell you that taxation is necessary because of all the good that comes from it. They don't see the disconnect.
