I few years back, my husband and I were talking about the body modification trend, that piercings and tatoos are no longer taboo, and that they soon won't cause you to bat an eye. He said that he thinks the forces of evil work in incriments... if earrings are fine, then nose rings are fine. If a tatoo on your bicep is fine, then one on your face is also fine. And before you know it, people are removing fingers as part of their self expression. Look up body modification in a search engine, and you can be horrified by the results.

Oh, man, I've seen some of that stuff. There was a show on TLC or the Discovery Channel a few weeks ago about a guy that wanted to be a cat. Had his ears pointed, big implants in his cheeks and above his eyes, teeth made into fangs, whiskers pierced through his upper lips, tatoos over every inch of his body. He had all of this done by a "body modification artist" without any anesthetic. Wierdest darn thing I ever saw.

It just keeps getting worse. Yesterdays taboos are today standards. Dumbing down America, Death of Common Sense, and Political Correctness disallowing judgements of all behaviour much less punishment for it, are just some of the many reasons for our society's plunge into the abyss.
