  1. I worked in a government profession who’s basis for existing was based on the idea that people can change, grow, be redeemed, learn, contribute and make good any harms done. This was in a previous life as a youth worker, then a social worker, then a family therapist. I learned several valuable life lessons from that line of work, such as that the people working in these jobs are generally more in need of such services than the general public. But, I also learned that people may change their behaviour; some are smart enough to learn from facts and information; but none will ever change who they are at their core. Like that old Jesuit saying about giving them the child until he’s 7 years old and they, “will give you the man.” People may change tribes, but only to serve that unchanging core of their being. I too have given Generic (as I call him, since he strives so hard to be a blandly typical Tory) too much credit. Sir, “ethically emboldened,” sounds inspiring to me. Sometimes you have such a great way with words.
