Quotation of the Day for September 1, 2014"Good nature is, of all moral qualities, the one that the world needs most, and good nature is the result of ease and security, not of a life of arduous struggle. Modern methods of production have given us the possibility of ease and security for all; we have chosen, instead, to have overwork for some and starvation for others. Hitherto we have continued to be as energetic as we were before there were machines; in this we have been foolish, but there is no reason to go on being foolish forever." - Bertrand Russell, from In Praise of Idleness. [Happy Labour Day!] Submitted by: Terry Labach Aug. 30, 2014  |
