On the flipside, I always loved that bit in Angel when the two of them are duking it out and Spike makes a point that he earned his soul, while Angel was just cursed with one.
I know in the series they make Spike out to be all speshul and one-of-a-kind in the vampire sense, but...eh...I think it's just in his character to make the best of what he's got. He's an opportunist - he's proved it time and again. So, he's saddled up with this soul, which isn't want he asked for, but he's going to make the most of it and if he can't get one thing, then maybe it'll get the other. In his case, well if he can't go back to hating Buffy, then maybe she'll learn to love him.
Which is how I justify Spike's crazy ranting in S7.
