What do you think are the biggest taboos in American culture?
By taboo, I don't mean just sexual ones (but that's fine). For example, John Ridley said that he wrote Three Kings because he discovered that no one wanted to talk about the "dark side" of Desert Storm, no one even wanted to think about it.
I can't think of many topics like that in today's media-saturated climate. Can you?
Open to theories or offerings of scientific fact:
