That's not a platitude -- they simply are. If their behavior is despicable or traitorous, it's just how they're wired. And you'll never be able to do anything about it... They'll likely behave the same way to others (unless they run across someone who's particularly rotten and, hence, seems authoritative).Life is melancholy. And this is one of the reasons why.</blockquote>
