HBO's 'Thought Crimes': What a cop's cannibal fetish taught us about privacy

Everybody's got their somethin' -- a little dark and private thought that got in there somehow and won't stop rattling around. Some of these quirks are socially acceptable and can therefore be made public, which is good news for the dominatrix industry as well as all those anime furries wandering around at the sci-fi convention. Many obsessions can be illegal if acted upon, but our you-do-you society widely accommodates forms of kink that used to be so taboo hardly anyone knew they existed.
