"Complete" and enduring?

The wife beating was 3 years ago. 'Muricans have been known to suffer relapses to past undesirable compulsions and flawed behaviors.

Let me guess: you didn't read it. It's about complete change, convinced me that it really can happen. And not falling for simplistic bullshit about promising to have reformed after being sent to prison, but a year of work on the piece digging into his life change. Not a simplistic prison stint story, either, that was also quite interesting and complex. He actually ended up being protected by some of the major gang guys there for surprising reasons..etc.

Also, because of that, tends to make you think about how this Tea Party type of guy becomes one, how it is often passion for passion's sake and not at all a thoughtful choice, as if the mind has little to do with it...

I found it quite inspirational that all is not lost, that people really can change in many ways.
