Oh, and regarding the Percy issue: if I had been given this really cool job with the Bush Administration, working for Karl Rove or something, I can guarantee you my parents would not have been congratulating me.
Yes, kids need to grow up and make their own decisions, but Percy couldn't have been in any doubt about what his family thought about the current Ministry...and while he definitely should pursue his own dreams, he shouldn't have been surprised that his family wasn't pleased.
