Joyce,

I agree with you, until money is introduced. I think you forgot to
include greed in your list. People can't change other people, and most
people can't change themselves, but money changes a lot of people.
Witness lottery winners and families of lottery winners (you can read
the news stories about once a week), compulsive gamblers, real estate
development, and divorce proceedings, not to mention horse show circuits
and equine bloodline salespersons. It happens.
