Good Guys/Bad Guys

When I hear "good guys and bad guys," I think of "poo poo and pee pee." This is not to say that bad guys, such as terrorists, and a small child's understanding of bodily functions are equivalent. Clearly, terrorists are much more dangerous than pooping children.

What I hear, though, is an explanation meant for children or a society infantilized. "Bad guys" allows us to go after anybody in the wrong place (of our choosing) at the wrong time (we have guns ready.) It's almost fun!
