Jeff, I have a problem with your reply to my posting.  You say that
I should not only observe behavior, but also ask *why*.  The implication
that I get from this is that I will be able to determine *why*, and
that I can then decide whether their reason(s) is(are) *good*.  Finally,
all of this analysis will put me in a position where I can then tell
these people (1) why they are doing what they do, and (2) tell them
whether their behavior is proper.  (this is exactly what you've been
doing in your postings, so I suspect that I'm correct about this)

I do not agree with this reasoning.  It's quite natural to
think about why people do what they do, but to then presume that
you can accurately answer that is a bold statement.  I don't think
that *anyone* is in a position to make such judgements as these,
both you and me included.

Everyone has likes and dislikes, just as everyone has their own
ideas about what is right and wrong.  If you have problems with
people wearing a lot of makeup (or even wearing *any* makeup), then don't
associate with people who do these things.  Don't try to force these
values on the rest of us, because it won't work.
