She has a point. Even Hitler and Stalin tought they were doing the right thing, and they were responsible for the deaths of millions. Even Pol Pot thought he was doing the right thing, and he had 2/3rd of his population slaughtered.

I have to respect Lucy for this one. I expected her to start yelling, even punching Charlie Brown. That’s her brother who defeated his blanket habit, and Charlie Brown spoiled it. She might have been understandably angry. However, she remained dispassionate and made an excellent point. Well done, Lucy.
