Man is just a memory. You understand things around you by the help of the knowledge that was put in you.

In a few more days we will celebrate Xmas, the day we commemorate the birth of you-know-who. . . . It seems the modern consensus of enlightened people that his name should be used in polite society only when cursing. . . . [P]oliticians are often eager to associate themselves personally with you-know-who, even -- and especially -- when they rather flagrantly ignore his injunctions. . . .
