Evil vs. Stupid

A lot of people are angry are angry with Wall St. execs and bankers who have screwed up badly enough to put the world's economy on the brink of collapse. They are angry because they assume that these execs are in some ways EVIL people.
the problem with that stance is that they're not really evil.
they're just stupid.
Yes, maybe their jobs are ridiculously complicated and difficult to understand. perhaps you (the reader) and I could not reasonably do their jobs, etc etc.
but we're not being paid millions of dollars a year to understand economics and high finance. THEY are!
and that's the difference.
