“Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in a social role for women that requires them to feel ugly.

Skinner's balanced dissection of our government's haphazard policies will be controversial, but it can also be the foundation for a new anti-slavery agenda, one that ends the political games being played with the lives of slaves.”
