"But I foresee that if my wants should be much increased, the labor required to supply them would become a drudgery. If I should sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I am sure that for me there would be nothing left worth living for. I trust that I shall never thus sell my birthright for a mess of pottage."
hardly a warning for the mass of todays job class
this asperger's anchorite sale of a better mess of pottage for a dubious leisure
behold florida's desolate grizzled army of the retired
early birds clutching till the feeding hour
to a long deep drooping telephone line
or the idle corner boys of harlem
like so many seals arfing away on a rock
this is the guts of the why
riding around inside the job ethic
