I enjoyed Robert Sibley's essay on vulgarity. For many readers Mr. Sibley has become a barometer of reflection on society's health.
Author Thomas de Quincey, who lived in the 18th century, wrote: "If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination."
One has to wonder what died along man's long ascent to take us where we are.

where does maple syrup fit into this equation?
I would have thought obvious...
If once a man indulges himself in maple syrup, very soon he comes to think little of sugared water;and from sugared water he comes next to Tim Horton's coffee and Donut-Dipping, and from that to slovenliness and unshaveness.
