Sensible People Advise Against Drinking

As The Son Of A Feminist Mother, I Grew Up With The Idea That Work Was A Sort Of Salvation For Women As It Would Give Them Freedom From The Domestic Grind. Now It Seems Work Is A Form Of Slavery, Undertaken Out Of Apparent Compulsion Rather Than Choice.

We Think We Have To Work Because The Advertising Industry Has Elevated Wants Into Needs. The Newspapers And The Television Batter Us Incessantly With The Latest "must-haves", Whether That's Shoes, Videogames Or Patio Heaters. As A Result, Mums Think They "have" To Work At Tesco In Order To Buy Expensive Trainers.

Being Lazy Does Not Mean That You Do Not Create. In Fact, Lying Around Doing Nothing Is An Important, Nay Crucial, Part Of The Creative Process. It Is Meaningless Bustle That Actually Gets In The Way Of Productivity. All We Are Really Saying Is, Give Peace A Chance.

Faffing Is Completely Harmless, Whereas Its Opposite - Dynamic, Purposeful Activity - Is Often Very Harmful. Faffers Do Not Tend To Kill People Or Make Them Work 12-hour Days Or Sell Them Shoddy Merchandise Or Lend Them Vast Sums Of Money That They Cannot Pay Back.

I Don't Put Much Faith In The Political System Because It's A Question Of How Are You Going To Run Capitalism, Not How Are We Going To Develop A Different System To Capitalism.
