“10 Reasons You Should Never Get A Job” | | April 30th, 2007 posted by JB under Jobs |

For those who might be wondering if I practice what I seem to preach — yes, I walk the walk and talk the talk.

An excerpt:
Getting a job is like enrolling in a human domestication program. You learn how to be a good pet.Look around you. Really look. What do you see? Are these the surroundings of a free human being? Or are you living in a cage for unconscious animals? Have you fallen in love with the color beige?
How’s your obedience training coming along? Does your master reward your good behavior? Do you get disciplined if you fail to obey your master’s commands?
Is there any spark of free will left inside you? Or has your conditioning made you a pet for life?
Humans are not meant to be raised in cages. You poor thing…
