Living in America: a Guide for the Perplexed Chapter 13

I maybe should have mentioned that nowhere in the bill of rights is anyone guaranteed a free lunch. And I think that this is right and proper. As the apostle Paul said, if you do not work, neither shall you eat. So you gotta work. And basically there's not much of a safety net anymore and they tell us that while it's all very fine and well that we continue to nuzzle up to the slop trough day after day, they must remind us that they have no choice but to reserve the right to terminate the relationship, for any or for no reason. Still: you gotta work. I recommend doing something you love or, barring that, living out your fading grey days trying to avoid the sight of the drying, twisted corpse of your strangled dreams. As Bill Holm put it, =Most do.=
