It seems that a nation, such as ours, which in the past prided itself as being not only the most well informed but also the most outstanding when it comes to defining the true guide lines for morality, have now become the avant-Gard in giving a whole new meaning to the word narcissism.
As such, cosmetics seem to have become such an integral part of our persona, that they must now not only have visibly visual miracle make over capabilities but since they also must necessarily have some pretty potent chemicals in there makeup, no pun intended, to accomplish this miracle, in order to transform a pig into a peacock, these chemicals need be tested before they, in there utilization, accidentally transform a peacock into a pig.

Therefore, in order to insure there impunity certain precautionary measures need to be taken by the cosmetic industry.
One of these precautionary measures necessarily involves testing these chemical creations. And since they are to be used, eventually on living, breathing and sweating human beings, it therefore, follows that they must also be tested on living breathing and sweating entities prior to their dispersal to the public at large.
Enter the poor test animals.
I for one do not agree with any procedure which dictates that harmless animals should be either physically hurt or ultimately deformed or dispatched simply to satisfy the greed of the producer or indulge the coxcombs of the consumer.
However, with the advent of such exotic and potent chemical creation injections such as bot ox, collagen and steroids of every potency and toxicity it is imperative that they first be tested before they are released to be used by the narcissistic public.
Therefore, I propose a new concept.
I propose that we as an enlightened creation, endowed by our creator with the basic common sense to seek knowledge and intelligence should, therefore, return to the basics which have for so long, safely, provided us with the same results that the chemicals now precariously provide.
We have become sedentary, indulgent, impatient, incontinent and careless. We want what we want when we want it and with the results that we want right now and we don't care what the chemist must do to satisfy our narcissistic propensities.
We want a healthy looking skin but not necessarily a healthy skin.
We want a healthy looking outer man without even considering the condition of the inner man.
Unlike our forefathers, we seek our wellness before we consider our well being.
We must, therefore, in order to achieve that degree of visible, physical and psychological well being for which we so desperately strive, follow the principals enumerated in the scriptures.
These principals have worked and are working for many and not only produce satisfactory results but are a testament to the efficacy of the Word. And the basic tenant of these principals is in itself the directions which will guide one to the utilization of the normal and the natural.
The words, activity, moderation, composure, patience and circumspect have become alien to our culture, whereas they were common place to many of our forbearer's.
As a result we have succumbed to the corruption of indulgence and we are paying the price by having to resort to chemicals in order to obtain a deceitful appearance of wellness.
And unfortunately, as in the garden and the fall, we enlist the sacrifice of the innocent animals to cover and satisfy our deceitful persona.
