This question is full of the guilt Wiessman craves...  Let's back up:

Q1.  Is Weissman Evil?
A1.  Was he evil when he met Enzian way back when?  Was he only preying on 
the young black child?

Q2.  What happened, changed, Weissman?  Is he only another son bound by his 
ancestry?  Was his initial innocence/purity only a genetic shell to be 
discarded upon crysalilsis?
A2.  Was he "Evil" way back then?

Q3.  Aren't there any Libertians out there who think its OK for consenting 
adults to shoot each other out in Rockets?
A3.  I disclaim adulthood when it comes to Rocketry.

All those other questions will have to wait...
