"So let it be written. So let it be done."

The old company name was being painted over on all the signs at the plant. The whole process reminded me of the scene in the Ten Commandments where Rameses (Yul Brynner) is banishing Moses from Egypt. Rameses declares that the name of Moses must never be spoken again and that all references to "Moses" must be removed from monuments and records.

It's interesting that such a simple gesture visibly boosted some people's morale. It demonstrates just how betrayed many have felt over the gradual decay of the company.
