"There is no Constitutional right to not be offended." – Neal Boortz

I searched Project Gutenberg for some of Aristotle’s works to load on my iPad. The search results included something with the intriguing title of Early English Meals and Manners. It’s full of all kinds of interesting admonitions, like:

General Directions for Behaviour.
Don’t claw your back as if after a flea; or your head, as if after a louse.
See that your eyes are not blinking and watery.
Don’t pick your nose, or let it drop, or blow it too loud, or twist your neck.
Don’t claw your cods, rub your hands, pick your ears, retch, or spit too far.
Don’t tell lies, or squirt with your mouth, gape, pout, or put your tongue in a dish to pick dust out.
Don’t cough, hiccup, or belch, straddle your legs, or scrub your body.
Don’t pick your teeth, cast stinking breath on your lord, fire your stern guns, or expose your codware before your master.

This is still good advice. Don’t fire your stern guns unless you can do so silently!

Moral decay impacts our families and lives as much as or more than money. Many a happy family gets by on modest incomes. In contrast, drugs, immorality, and lust have destroyed countless marriages, and when those marriages dissolve, economic hardship often results.
