More.

So my mother insisted that I see the doctor because my cough hasn't gone away, but it's just a mild case of acute [bacterial?] rhinosinusitis and it should resolve on its own eventually. But, to please her, I set up an appointment for tomorrow morning. I'll try to look homeless when I show up. Anyways, more controversial ramblings.

• The use of contraception is a symptom of consumerism and nihilism unless four or more children are produced. "Financial ruin" will not result from having one more child while you are middle-class.
  
• The reason I can never be a Latinist is their refusal to confirm and commune my infants, which is not only inhumane, but is evidence of a complete lack of understanding of the sacraments. First Communion before Confirmation, WTF? Confirmation separated from Baptism? I will just never understand.
  
• Whoever does not love trees does not love Christ.
  
• Improvised prayers "ex corde" have more in common with "vain repitions" than, say, the use of the chotki or rosary.
  
• People who habitually say, "God told me..." are stupid and misled.
  
• Psychotherapy is incompatible with Christian praxis.
  
• Whenever a man praises "spirituality", it is a cue to never take him seriously again.

Now I'm going to prepare myself for a visit to the doctor tomorrow. Bah. This'll be the second time this year. Unacceptable.
