Hugo Black

Man, you wonder how the overtime for 40+ hours law came into effect and figure, "The guy who set that in motion must have been a pretty decent guy."  Then you find out he ended up joining the Ku Klux Klan.  That really takes the decency away in a hurry.  I can see why Diogenes the Cynic walked around with a lantern looking for an honest man.  What a depressing world we live in.

One of my favorite websites is slowdownnow.org, advocating a slower lifestyle.  One day it posted a link to Bertrand Russell's essay "In Praise of Idleness."  Highly recommended reading.
