What prompts a person to have a bull-like nose ring? Even if the chances are low, why risk incurring an infection, a septal hematoma (broken blood vessels), an allergic reaction to the metals in the piercing, or scarring? Why risk developing a blood disease, including hepatitis B and C, HIV, and tetanus, from an unsterilized needle? Why risk bumping into something and hitting a nerve, potentially causing permanent damage? And how, exactly, does one effectively handle a runny nose?
How long before the advocates of “anything goes” seek to normalize nose rings so that no one should be aghast when someone in a public position has one? So, why not doctors and nurses, police officers, firefighters, postal workers, and, for good measure, elementary school teachers? ….
One of the two major political parties seeks to normalize human behavior, which, in a saner society, might be a sorely needed topic of discussion and derision. This political party employs a variety of tactics, such as the renaming of issues. Consider pedophiles. They are attracted to children and would like to groom them, have sex with them, perhaps keep them as sexual slaves, and ensure that they stay silent.
Pedophiles revel in having children at their beck and call, for years on end, if possible. Leftists now refer to pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons.” Voila! You are no longer a predator if you seek to have sex with a child. You're a “minor-attracted person.” It's a lifestyle! It's a choice! Some people opt for it; most don't. It's no big deal!
Once a notable segment of society opens Pandora’s Box and proceeds as if dubious behavior is normal, there’s no end to it. A case in point: The fat acceptance movement is growing in the U.S. With two-thirds of adults now either obese or morbidly obese, and the number growing all the time, it was inevitable that fat acceptance would ‘inch’ forward.
