Redefining the Unacceptable
“The landmarks of political, economic and social history are the moments when some condition passed from the category of the given into the category of the intolerable…The history of public health might well be written as a record of successive redefinings of the unacceptable.”
- Geoffrey Vickers, Secretary, Medical Research Council, Great Britain, 1958

Include items that you wish would become unacceptable.
