10. Demonstrations and marches are good.
\nEucharistic and saint-day processions are bad.<\/p>\n

9. Incense at home to cover up that marijuana smell is good. Yay,

\ngood.

\nis abusive.<\/p>\n

5. Early music is good, especially on the original instruments and for
\nits original purposes.

To which I add my own list of ten in no particular order.<\/p>\n
