Parents will lose their children, children will lose their parents. Married people will lose their spouses. But if you don't go to war, maybe worse things will happen. A good person wouldn't like to be responsible for such a decision. A bad person on the other hand, might not care at all about how such a decision influences the lives of others.

For popularity=bad for funniness=good
It made the colonists realize how bad there king really was.

Changes are good for a person, unless the changes are not good changes... then, changes are bad for a person. If you support bad changes then you would be supporting bad change for a person.
Oh, dude, Thomas Paine had not one, but two wives. His first wife was Mary Lambert, and his second wife was Elizabeth Ollive. So yeah, Thomas Paine was quite the ladies' man... or maybe just really bad at staying single.
