Which is not to say that wanting cosmetic surgery is necessarily a sign of illness.

(Spike Lee didn't even wait for the election. Last summer he said we were soon going to measure time by "BB, before Barack, and AB, after Barack.") In some of his supporters, we see the spectacle of secular-minded folk looking for a messiah.
