The One Modern Taboo

Do you know what the modern taboo is? I read an article recently that said that we now wear on our T-shirts what we used to not tell our analysts. Isn't that the truth? Look at the messages on some T-shirts. How open our society is about so many things! When I was young, you didn't talk about a lot of those things, especially in mixed company. Now, it seems that anything goes--except for one subject. You know what the modern taboo is? Death, don't talk to people about death. They don't want to talk about it.
