While discussing the Foundation and Robots Trilogy in one Asimov list, I suddenly saw myself justifying why it's ok to change Daneel from the God's Tool to the Galactic Evil Overlord. And then I had to think - and criticize - the Three Laws. And suddenly I realized this [that I sent to that list]:
IMHO, the Three Laws are the most Evil thing Humanity has ever perpretrated in all the sf books I've ever read or movies I've watched. It's more evil than 1984's Big Brother, or the way anthropoids are treated in Planet of the Apes. It's absolutely Evil to create an intelligent slave race who is uncapable of even dreaming of becoming non-slave.
