Here we import everything. Laws, ideas, philosophies, theories, subjects of conversation, aesthetics, sciences, styles, industries, fasshions, mannerisms, jokes, everything comes in boxes on the boat. Civilization is very expensive, what with the customs dues: and it's all secondhand, it wasn't made for us.
