IN MOD WE TRUST
"The very question "why" is offensive. The suggestion that We are obligated to answer this question when they are not is by definition bigoted. One has the responsibility to answer the question why to oneself. Under no circumstances does anyone have the right to non-consensually question or investigate the personal motives. On the subject of societal norms. Fleeting changes in the whims of the lowest common denominator, grains of sand barely understood by the hundredth monkey that blindly follows, represent our collective "statistically normal" deaths. We declare those who adhere to norms for the sake of conformity to be traitors to everything that makes humanity beautiful. We, the people full of daring creativity and energy, declare them to be a scourge upon our planet. The entire concept of a "societal norm" as far as aesthetic definitions go is a flawed concept. It suggests that somehow there are blanket laws that apply to all of us. The very fact that these laws change radically from region to region and time to time points out their fallacies: are we expected to believe that humans are different in 2002 than they were in 1802? Or that humans are different in Britain than they are in India? Following these norms is an easy way out that surrenders much of what we should value in ourselves. Any free person knows that "societal norm" is just another term for "prison"... "
