115. Revulsion is a normal and healthy reaction to an evil person.
So said M. Scott Peck in his fascinating book "People of the Lie". It's a protective instinct, he said - you'll tend to stay the hell away from people you loathe, and in most cases, that limits the harm they can do to you.

I actually have met a few other people who repulsed me as strongly as Palin does. They were all dangerous and destructive in one way or another to the people around them. However, I met those people personally. Palin is the first person to make me feel this way so strongly just from watching and listening to her on the TV.
