It is the limitation of some people that they cannot conceive of those they have put up on pedestals of being capable of being both crass *and* saints, at the same time. In their minds, a being can only be one or the other. Their limitations in this respect should not prevent those of us who have *no problem* conceiving of such a thing from doing so.
