I feel the same way about taboo. Some people refrain from torturing animals because they've been brainwashed from the time they were kids that torturing animals is somehow perverse and should never be considered. I say if we just eliminate the notion that it is taboo, it won't seem nearly so perverse. Just the other day my child asked if we could play with the kitten, and I said, "Sure, I'll get the pliers." :wink:
