Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear.
Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together.
Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore
these formalities as "empty," "meaningless," or "dishonest," and scorn to use
them. No matter how "pure" their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery
that does not work too well at best.

Rocky Mountains

Simply breathtaking.
