.... but it is really happening today, whether it is with mother, father, brother, sister, or even grandma, it is still happening somewhere in this world. The main cause of this lack of morals is (in my opinion) directly related to the amount of sex and violence on television. Many years ago Elvis couldn't even shake his waist on TV, but now Sharon Stone can open her legs on a big screen for everyone to see.

.... set, but you realize that saving the girl is more important--highly illogical. You have the plane ticket already--why would you risk losing your chance to go home? Illogicality! The same concept can be applied to metaphors. Why would you give up you creative endeavors just to follow a "basic" rule of logicality? Being logical in the use of metaphoric language only limits you to boundaries and never lets you show your personal perceptions. The limits of logicality only deprive you of expression--you never grasp the full meaning of what you are trying to say. "" by John Up .....
