I'm reminded of the Tony Kushner play, Angels in America, in which a sick and dying <BR/>(and politically castrated) Roy Cohn kvetches: "this is no country for the infirm." In Mr. Cohn's case, it's tempting to simply enjoy Kushner's poetic justice; but the point is valid. The US's much vaunted "protestant work ethic" leaves those who aren't working (sick, retired, unemployed)in the cultural lurch. We say, "time is money," but there inevitably comes a point when it's just time, naked, stripped of its dollar-bill fig-leaf.AaronHerschelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886387346974535323noreply@blogger.com
