No you don't. To become a _respected_ figure you might, but to become
evil, you don't. If I went out and raped a bunch of 8 year olds right now
and then gave myself up to the police saying, 'I don't regret a minute of
it.' I bet by the time people had read about it in tomorrow morning's
paper I'd be considered evil.

The thing is, evil and good are not two sides in a football match. Good
people do not have to like and respect each other, and neither do evil
people. Stalin and Hitler were contemporaries who most on this list
probably consider evil, but they certainly did not get along.
