"The office of president is a bastardized thing, half royalty and half democracy that nobody knows whether to genuflect or spit."

To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.
