I agree, Meno.  Too often we treat people like monsters because they disagree with us or don't share our same morals, when, really, we are all just trying to make it through life the best way we know how.   I do believe there are some evil people in the world, like *truly* evil, but I know there are more good people in the world than the bad.   And the evil ones.. can they change?  Of course.  Will they?  Doubtful.  If you've murdered 25 people by noon on a Sunday and plan to do it again on Monday.. doesn't seem like you might be changing anytime soon, but maybe one day .. but the damage by that point has been done.  Now I've gone out on a tangent.  But then that is just what you do to me, you tangent invoker.  ;)
