Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Distasteful Slang

I have nothing against slang as such, but there are contexts in which it does not belong.  Here is a book by one Fr. Andrew Younan entitled Metaphysics and Natural Theology.  One chapter is entitled "Aristotle and the Other Guys."  Another "Thomas Aquinas — A Bunch of Stuff."  A third "God Stuff."

Disgusting.  Either you see why or you don't.  I can't argue you out of your low-rent sensibility.  In matters of sensibility, argument comes too late.
