But I could build a slightly different case where the red dress of the woman was very important to the deceased, and she thinks he would like to see her this way at his funeral. Then all the family of the deceased would be the insensitive ones.Those unspoken social rules you speak about, are just that: unspoken. That means they could not be perfectly clear to everyone in the same way. what breaks them for you is not what breaks them for another. That is why our society is based on written rules.If the people whose future is being decided finds a starfleet uniform offensive, they only have to ask their attorney to have her removed from the jury. And many people on jury duty could have much more clouded judgement than her, only they fall within your unspoken rules so you can't notice.We live more and more in a multicultural society, in Italy and in the States alike. We are going to face more and more often people that we don't understand. We'd better adjust ourselves not to judge people so hastily, no good can come from this.</blockquote>
