"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

I don't know if you ever watch the BBC show Top Gear, but Jeremy Clarkson has this funny mannerism. When he says the word "carbon fiber" he pauses ever so slightly and his voice takes on reverential quality -- the way you might talk to your friend 10 feet away, while visiting Notre Dame.
eg. The entire hood is made of [slight pause] carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber is OLD... The new is carbon nanotube... :-)
:) Ah, NFO, remember when "duraluminum" was the hottest hotness?
MeatAxe: y'know, now that you mention it...he *does* do that.
Remember when fibreglas was the hot ticket?
