    Workers of the World...Relax!

    I know a few of people here who are really going to dig this article talking about the Abolition of Work.. I liked it myself!

    "I agitate for permanent revelry." I'm in complete agreement!

    Thanks for posting!

    Good idea, as long I continue to have unrestricted access to chocolate.

    I skimmed the article, it's pretty out there, but the enthusiasm shines through!

    The one sentence, "Play is the suspension of consequences" reminds me of an art class I took recently. It's marketed to non-artists as a one-time fun evening event - with wine! - where you are set up with an easel, canvas, paints and brushes and a teacher leads everyone through copying a famous painting. It's a blast, and you are encouraged to get creative. However, one woman who sat behind me was griping, saying "I thought this class was supposed to be fun, but this is stressful!"
    Basically, she could not relax enough to do something where she might "fail."

    I used to have a discreet "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign at my desk. Finally, it proved true. I agree with the author.
