My contemporary Jim Henley (alternate archive) reminisces:
Dammit, when I was a boy we had to work at atheism and agnosticism. We walked uphill in the snow – both ways! – to doubt the cogito! Nobody handed us disbelief on an hors d’oeuvre tray like these lazy brats you see nowadays, with their video games and their piercings!
This comes in the middle of some musings on the effects of Santa Clausery.
