I work every day - the world moves too fast. Regulations are the new moats, but holidays and weekends were the moats in the past -- 260 days in a year vs 365 - who will produce more?
There is more to life than how much one can produce, surely. You may be interested in a little piece of literature called A Christmas Carol - the core of the message is as accurate now as it was when it was written, if not more so, and I personally believe that core applies whether you celebrate Christmas or not. (I'm obviously being a little facetious as I assume most if not all of us are intimately familiar with the tale - I personally like the George C. Scott version!)
+1 for the Patrick Stewart version
Patrick Stewart is great, but for me the definitive version is the one with Michael Caine
Isn't that the muppet version? That is a great one.
