robin you are the definition of arbitrary....
as far as you eliminating taboo out of you and your familys life, you just create different kinds of taboos....being intellectual liberal, a progressive, free thinker, enlightened individual doesnt mean you squash the 'tabooness' out of your life you simply create taboos that the general society consider normal....
