The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing.

I think you've seriously misconstrued my use of the term, by the way, but maybe your misconstrual will prove more entertaining than my use, so I won't totalitarianistically object. However I do want to say that I pass no judgement on my poor fertile neighbor. Unlike the pure, naked destructiveness of the higher orders, his humble propensity for reproduction is ambiguous; it may (theoretically) cost me taxes or help pay my Social Security. Allah is all-knowing.

But should I have given him money for cigarettes?
