Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers' glory. . .

-- Walter Lippmann, (Sep 23 1889-1974), US journalist, editor, author; He won Pulitzers 1958, 1962, for his syndicated column, Today and Tomorrow.
