I think you hit on the heart of the matter, Happy Monkey, which is that we are living in a society with certain traditions we may not agree with, but sometimes it behooves us to not rock the boat too much. This is the tightrope walk of the thinking man. Of course, and I'm not saying that this is the case here, but sometimes the boat needs smashing into oblivion. One man almost has to lay his life down, every once in a while, to set things right.
