People are not detached from and objective about their taboos. People's most intimate relationships are often very strongly influenced by their taboos. Thus taboos cannot be the subject of objective study and analysis. Taboos are outside the scope of what scientists are qualified to study, understand and make predictions in regards to. It is collusive to pretend otherwise. It is taboo to describe the provisions of taboos and the alienative punishments which are informally required for violating a taboo. There cannot be, however, a taboo which makes it taboo to neglect to describe the provisions of the taboo. Informal taboos are essentially collusive in nature and inevitably lead to tragic consequences. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
