Good ! I suspect that a large part of the problem running around here is that a lot of people don't get sent home for similar actions.

Years ago, Jerry Barkow used to have this travelling roadshow presentation about "Dr. Something-or-other and the Church of Fundamentalist Sociobiology". He modeled his "talk" on the Baptist Revival preachers and televangelists, but his "message" was, as you can imagine, quite different . In it, one of the points he made was that lazyness (aka Sloth) was a Cardinal Virtue (from an evolutionary standpoint) if (and only if) it did not lead to punishments that exceeded the rewards to be garnered.
