        ù Quoting Bob Rudolph from a message to Ryan Bagueros  ù 
BR> TANSTAAFL  will always prevail.  To those who feel that work ought 
BR> not to be a part of  their life, I say 'have at it - but don't expect 
BR> me to bail you out.
Okay, I agree with you, but I'm not saying that we should have life without 
work, or *I* should have a life without work and you can slave away all day. 
I'm saying that work can and should be re-organized so that it is not to kill 
yourself all day for the benefit of a rich, pampered CEO.
Which sounds more like laziness/selfishness/whining:
The worker: "I don't want to work 50 hours a week to just barely get by for 
my 
family at an exhausting job for the rest of my life, I want to share in the 
material benefits that my labor produces, rather than having the boss decide, 
and end up taking most of it for corporate profit."
The CEO: "I don't want to share the profits of the worker's labor equally, I 
want to have total control over it, so that I can have power, influence, a 
brand new car, two brand new homes, etc etc."
BR> CHOICES.  PRIORITIES.  I know plenty of people that can't afford 
BR> health  insurance but can afford projection TV's and full-boat cable, 
BR> can afford to  eat out regularly at places that I can't afford, drive 
You are saying "choices" but what you mean to say is that "you have no 
choice."
In a society that is supposedly the most freedom that humans can ever attain, 
there seem to be very few "choices" available.
