It was one of those culturally oppressive days. My wife and I
were in a supermarket in a nearby town and it just seemed like everyone, even
the older people were just covered in tattoos, piercings and other forms of obscenity
and states of undress. Language was crude, children ill-behaved. It was a
gruesome and disturbing scene reminding me of Peter's reference to Lot and the
burden and vexation of living in Sodom.
