A loafing scamp ...

... The Importance of Living by Lin Yutang. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Lin Yutang said many wise things, among them this, which seems especially pertinent to this day and age: "Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone."

    as an activist
    I would say, correcting L Y- leave things undone if u messing them up

    otherwise- get off yr. arses

    human beings are very passive

    we need more Che Guervaras, Jesus's, Martin Luther Kings, Gandhi's

    you can thank capitalism for the mess we're in - the "Three Penny Opera" summed it up very well in 33or so
