Even in Europe they look down on this lifestyle- so let's not blame them this time. This working 40-70 hours a week is crazy. When I was in Insurance, I would sometimes work on cases from 6am till 8pm, and think nothing of it...think I was doing good.

I would put off seeing my Queen so I can make the boss smile. I think that the entire popular culture is unhealthy in USA.

We get on the bible thumpers of the mid west...and I don't agree with many of their religious beliefs. But at least they still have some sense of community and family-prolly cus they are still farming communities.


" If we can't learn to live together despite the turmoil of past generations we are doomed." -Stern

"And where today is the stable community that would sustain such a couple, where one can be both poor and diginified and raise one's children with decency and hope... If the answer is education, does our society adequateley provide that tool of self-improvement to the less well off?"-- Sidney Poitier

" I'm not mad 'cus I'm losing! I'm mad 'cus I don't know how to win!" --Kevin Curtis Daniels Jr.

"And herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor,-all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked,-who is good? Not that men are ignorant, -what is Truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men."
W.E.B. Dubois
