the message of good and evil

I think it most certainly things will end when the sun expands into our orbit.  There is some talk about us getting out of here in our shiny spaceships but that doesn't seem likely to me or even a very good idea because hasn't the universe had enough of us.  Well maybe not if good has defeated evil for once and for all.  Imagine that.  Imagine us, puny humans with our hairless simian bodies and big hairy heads, knocking on the doors of the United Federation of the planets and offering them our message of peace and love.  Imagine our shiny spaceships landing on the planet of intelligent octopi and setting up a little stand where we hand out peace and love literature, or worse yet go knocking on their doors and asking if we could come in and chat with them and deliver our message.

But what kind of message would it be?  Nowadays there is this Seti thing where we are winnowing through cosmic noise and looking for a pattern.  If we ever find one I imagine the plan is to send a pattern back at them, and eventually develop some kind of conversation even if it is like fifty years between asking and getting an answer to a question.  There is a general assumption that they would have been around longer than us, and therefore they likely would have figured out how not to blow themselves up or lay waste to their planet, and  we and we would surely like to know how they have done that, so that once we have figured out some way to communicate our first question is likely to be how did you guys do that? 

I imagine the scene where they are waiting on the answer.  For some reason I see one of those wall-like computers of olden days, it just seems so much better than a cadre of white coats huddled around an iphone, still chuckling over the last cat video, and checking to see if there is any new news from outer space.  At any rate the message comes through and the answer is something along the lines of,  Why don't you guys just be nicer to each other?  And all the science guys look at each other with disappointment and exasperation, Geez, like we didn't know that?

Well it's not just a message that is going to do it is it?  Actually I kind of think it is a message, the sane message of The Liberal Agenda.  Well I'm not going to go there right now.  I'll probably get to it in the course of this meandering discussion, but there is no hurry.  I'm trying to keep away from politics.  Even though I'm pretty sure I am in the right in my political views I often get too fired up.  I am not without sin, and I am going to try to avoid the subject.

Anyway I have gotten a bit off my intended subject.  I wasn't intending to address the subject of which side will win or lose in the end, not even sure what that means.  My original question was how is it that evil has never been able to completely defeat good.  I'll try to get back to that by next Monday.
