	Why is it that one always hears of fallen paladins and angels, and
things once good turned to evil, but never the reverse; and why is it that
one always hears of things born evil that can never be converted to good or
made good by good upbringing?  I see no reason why it should not be possible,
with sufficient work in a good upbringing, to bring up one of the monsters
listed as evil to be good.  What awesome power is going to keep an orc brought
up in a paladin's family and treated non-discriminationally from being good,
by virtue of growing up that way?  For that matter, why do we never hear of
anything like a few renegade demons who have left the ways of evil, just as
other powerful forces have fallen from good?
