And this is your problem.  Everyone is worthwhile.  You gotta be
willing to look.  I am; and I find it.  Everyone has *some* redeeming
quality... They may need help bringing it out.  Sometimes, we may get to
them too late.  

I know you think I'm an idealistic fool.  Perhaps I am.  But that doesn't
change the fact that within every person I have ever met, I've found some
seed of goodness, of worthiness.  I may not like the person... I can think
of ten people off the top of my head that I can't *stand!*  And right along
with them, I can think of reasons why they're worth fighting for.

Is it just me?
