Although I also would like to get beyond this Good/Evil thread,  like 
Terrance I see this Pain/Pleasure offshoot as even more confusing.  I like 
my share of Hedonism (please spare me, from the S&M), but I don't see this 
dichotomy as anywhere central to GR.  As a dichotomy Good/Evil is central to 
GR, but intricately woven, and this intricacy is what we're wrestling with.
