Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I remember reading
somewhere that America's 40-hour workweek is one of
the longest in the developed world. Michael Ventura
wrote an article called, "Someone is Stealing Your
Life," about the slavery of these hours spent serving
The Man, who has everything we will never have even
though we do the work.
