Actually, the fact that you haven't been called on the carpet for directly challenging the Society in a meeting is an encouraging sign. Either your elders are slacking off, or the entire culture is rotting. I knew it was fetid, but if they can't crack down on a little pipsqueak that dares to challenge Mother's Word then they are just not as on top of things as the elders I remember.
