One of the remarkable things about this thread (and it is interesting) is
that there seems to be an unwillingness or inability to understand that
EVERY human interaction involves changing, influencing other people.
I guess we just aren't comfortable recognizing that interacting means
change and influence, just like living involves breathing.
The only way you CAN'T influence or change people is to never ever
interact with anyone and live in a barrel.
All this talk on whether it is right or wrong, possible or not is yet
another philisophical illusion.
