What about the concept of career versus work as well. Is this uniquely
American? In case you don't know what I'm referring to ... there is a
concept amongst us 9 to 5'rs that there is two forms of employment. First,
is defined as work or job ... you go there you do something you get paid.
Second, is a career ... you like what your doing so much you'd do it for
free ... luckily you don't have to.

result not from a deranged mind but from a cold, calculating
rationality combined with a chilling inability to treat
others as thinking, feeling human beings. Such morally
