I didn’t want to teach. I went corporate. And, heck, I dunno if it’s a big secret, but, corporate really appreciates writing skills and “analysis outside of the box” (of which we English maj’s get a lot of practice with regard to, say, decoding the epic poem).

Corporate appreciates writing. Then you, in turn, learn the corporate ropes and other disciplines that you avoided as an English major ( ) and you understand. And you write that subject matter well, too. Good writing is a tool, so, when you learn something you apply them together like how Spock can mind-meld, you know? Makes you, to borrow a phrase from Dr. Michael Savage, Voltaire in Paris.

The challenge of the previous generation was to increase the absolute supply of goods in the world — and they succeeded marvelously, as we now live in a world of great abundance, and not scarcity anymore. Now, the great challenge of this generation, is the distribution of that abundance over the entire population of the world, and not simply the continuing cry for already prosperous trade unions for “MORE,” which of course, is the great problem of the world, when people with adequate food, shelter and clothing, believe they deserve ALL.

That leaves very little, if nothing at all, for those who have much less or nothing at all. Yet many of these people pleading for their entitlements, call themselves “liberals,” and think they are highly “enlightened,” because they are smarter at getting more than their fair share and are always parading in the streets, demanding “MORE,” while some people have verry little, and are in fact, the victims of their real estate speculations and demands for higher wages that drive businesses under — except of course if they work for the government, in which they believe they are entitled to everything they can get.
