Ah, evil. Such an interesting concept. What is right and wrong, not only now but what will be looked upon as wrong in the future?

I would bet that pyre is right - these dealer/smugglers will not be considered evil if you look back on the situation in 100 years. Just as we do not consider someone running a speakeasy during Prohibition to be evil.

What will be considered evil is a very interesting concept. International oppression for resources, drastically different living standards based on luck and geography, over-consumption and waste?

But perhaps other items that you would not even expect. Elimination of languages and distinct cultures? Holding dolphins in captivity if we discover they are as intelligent as us but just lack the ability to use tools? The use of plastics?

Whatever the answers are - what the government deems to be legal/illegal is irrelevant when looking from that perspective.
