Yes, alas, I am forced to accept the humiliation of paid employment.

Because most of us here are smart enough not to be factory workers?

Type of employment has nothing to do with intelligence, deadman.

I'm in a hotel room at 4:30 on a Tuesday morning and I'm not a hooker.

Why on earth is an unemployed in a hotel room?  Leisured owner?

If you consider a $50 hotel room in suburban Canada "leisured ownership," yeah sure.

And being the progeny of a college professor and and editor, I'm not sure it would be "ownerdom" in your paradigm.  Maybe "exploiter" or something.  Do you have that in your lexicon?  It has a ring.

Either way I'm pretty sure I'm doing the same thing as you, except with less owner blood money, and with fewer prostitutes.  No prostitutes, I mean.  No prostitutes.

Nice cheap room there.. cheap enough there may be prositutes roaming nearby...

But I didn't mean to imply you were rich, just curious what the hello you're doing in a hotel room, particularly one like that and in the suburbs?

Not entirely true, but truer than we're told to think.

Ah, that depends on what one defines as "intelligence", is it not?

Well, defining it as 'outward signifiers of class background' would be more accurate than some supposed innate difference in brain operation.

"To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society." --Teddy Roosevelt

Well done, well quoted, though fascist.  Given what our society is, it is heroic to menace it.
