Taboo - (Polynesian) to prohibit something from use, approach, or mention because of its sacred and inviolate nature.

Stalking taboos requires "long periods of quietness, a low profile, protective coloration, and the diversion of the quarry's attention to other matters until the propitious moment."
...a taboo cannot be productively attacked until the time is ripe.
Avoid irrelevant offensiveness.
The first step in emasculating a taboo should be to pin a proper label on it. As with Rumpelstilskin in the fairy story, the full power of a taboo depends on its remaining unnamed.
Never tackle more than one taboo at a time.

Hardin's Law - It takes five years for a willing person's mind to change. Have patience with yourself and others when treading in an area protected by a taboo.
