Work

I recently watched a report by CBS-TV on the new American work ethic, as practiced by young entrepreneurial and mass-educated Americans. The workers interviewed were proudly proclaiming their seven-day work week and ten-hour work days. "I love what I do, " beamed one young woman, with the look of a trauma victim. And she is a willing victim. Human societies have evolved for centuries to the point of allowing a significant portion of humanity to have a life with ample time for recreation and personal evolution. In one decade, the corporate Fascist leadership of America has sabotaged that progress by indoctrinating the younger population to believe that they must sacrifice the leisure which allows for thought, personal growth and idealism. The threat of terrorism and the use of war, ancient methods, were used effectively in mass media to this goal. Now these automatons are joining ranks with exploited illegal aliens to support a wealthy and bloated upper class, which lives in total leisure and materialistic hedonism. The work of greed is never over. The work of living well with consciousness is over all too soon.
