In short.... this isn't adding up to me. Could you please clarify this for me?

I wish I would have read this. I am the lazy skimmer it seems.

It's possible it's not accurate, nor even related to this rather light-hearted thread, because I tend to relate everything to body modification--it's just my thing. Cartesian theory is related to society's treatment of this subject, and I can provide more quotes from my sources--but I don't think that's what you are looking for.
I am also not handing anyone a list of reading material--I offered, in case anyone was interested. I'm just always eager to share my passion with other people--aren't you?

I didn't accuse you of ignoring me.
