Hard work

[Catherine Driscoll]

Oh Chuck what garbage -- and here I thought you were being ironic -- 
seriously I did -- I thought no one so obviously intelligent could believe 
that idiocy and so on... but there you go... just when I think I can't get 
more cynical I discover that I am in fact naive.

Is this a wonder or a tragedy?

I work hard every day, far harder than if I was just working for my own 
interests. And no shovels need be involved. How tragic is it that people 
feel the need to succumb to this fantasy that all I (for example) can do in 
the world is dig and feel good about it.
