Duplicity The short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” [1966] is written by legendary science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. It is the story of a man whose memories and mind are repeatedly garbled by a combination of governments and private corporations.

The percent of you making it to the top is slim to none. This is why i think that they should close Mt. Everest and then reopen it when they make it safer and preserve Mt. Everest.

Should we let go of everything from our past that holds memories‚ simply because its old? Or should we keep on passing it from generation to generation to keep a tradition? In schools is a great example of that. A common debate is whether or not Romeo and Juliet should be taught in schools.
