[MD] Philosophy and Philosophology

Matt:
I'm not sure whether you're trying to be funny or not, but it is a nice
Thoreauvian thought.  Thoreau spent the whole, massive first chapter of
Walden talking about work, and the slaves it has made us.  Which is true, as
far as it goes, which isn't far if--unlike Thoreau--you have kids who are
hungry and no rich friends who own a pond you can retire to.


Greetings Matt,

I was astonished to learn not so long ago that Thoreau's mother and sister
provided him with most of his meals while he was on Walden Pond.  (I might
have heard it on a BBC's In Our Times program.)
