You may be experiencing something the sociologists/behavioral scientists call the `halo effect’:
`This lefty went to Columbia, so did I.’
So he can’t be all bad, hmmm?
But you can’t bring this striped polecat in here, reeking and spraying—possibly rabid—and say:
“Wanna pet my cat?” and expect us to reply,
“Sure, why not?”
If you do, you *really* have been away.

We’ll get your mind right, Luke! Yas sir, we will.
So he cant be all bad, hmmm?
Actually, I very rarely think anybody is "all bad." If that's the reaction to certain people that I should be striving for, then I guess my parents failed me in that regard.
