Wait a sec.
Hitler and Stalin liked him, so he must be evil? Hitler and Stalin liked and respected a lot of people and things, some of them worthy of respect by the rest of us.
And Utopia? Have you read The Time Machine? There was no utopia in that book. It deals with a future in which humanity has destroyed itself and the world is ruled by intelligent but savage cockroaches. (Which is something I always thought could have used some explaining in the series... Was his book different in the L&C universe, did he write it that way to throw people off the trail, or what?)
As for the rest, Albert Einstein and Thomas Jefferson weren't exactly ideal family men, either. Not that that excuses it, but do you hate them?
