[Tutor] is this code dangerous?

Taking a turn down a different path: make the Person's 'mood' an attribute
and have the Person check his mood before speaking.

>>> class Person:
...     def __init__(self, name, mood=None):
...         self.name = name
...         self.mood = mood
...     def speak(self):
...         if self.mood == 'cranky':
...             print "We isn't saying nothing."
...         else:
...             print "Hello, I'm %s." % self.name
... 			
>>> bilbo = Person("Bilbo Baggins")
>>> gollum = Person("Smeagol", 'cranky')
>>> bilbo.speak()
Hello, I'm Bilbo Baggins.
>>> gollum.speak()
We isn't saying nothing.
>>> gollum.mood = 'happy'
>>> gollum.speak()
Hello, I'm Smeagol
>>>
