This is a fact and a theme: as soon as comparissons are made, one's own customs no longer seem inevitable. To be sure, the neighboring people, the enemy, has always behaved differently from us, but he is simply wrong-headed."

I like the fact that he took money from conspiracy nuts for years when in fact he didn't believe in any of it. Then, in a move of pure political jujitsu, by "taking responsibility" for all of it by claiming to "take responsibility" for it. He didn't have to actually return the money he had taken from these people. He didn't have to say to his suporters, "You know, I never believed any of that crap - y'all are suckers." He just walked away telling everyone it was old news. So, yeah - I did get the whole story.
