I literally laughed out loud at the dark lord's name. Well done!
EDIT: As far as the point of "Can enough Y balance out enough X or vice versa?" I think that we're seeing that play out with V in the comic. V has committed a truly horrible act, but I think it's still up for debate on whether or not V is currently Evil. If V is currently Evil due to the horrible act, then can V do enough to bring him/herself back to True Neutral? It's an interesting question, to be sure.
