We live in an age wherein the sins of the togue are celebrated.  We live in a time in which the pathology of the tongue is encouraged by the social engineers.  Persons are defiled (made unclean) by the sins of the tongue.  Persons have died because of the sins of the tongue, and others have been wounded unto death thereby.  We can see the decay within society by the way in which people seek to destroy one another by slander and libel.  Something is gravely wrong within western culture.
