“The mass of men lead lives of quiet deperation.”

So true in today’s world. These workaday sissies would never do something that would jeopardize their precious, little beancounter jobs.”

I tried reading Walden, and put it down just 1.5 chapters in. Never tried to read any other of his works. He just seems so self-absorbed and willing to leech off others without doing any work himself. I found the whole premise of his time in the woods to be lazy and lacking in any industriousness. Maybe I missed something, but I grew up in western MA (many many moons ago) and he is regarded as a hero of sorts in the intellectual circles out there. Never understood the idol-worship of Thoreau.

edit: leech, not leach.
