[PEN-L:237] Re: more on work and family values

[Michael Eisenscher <meisenscher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Utterly disgraceful, isn't it!!  Imagine---people actually having a stronger
sense of community and humanity and devotion to family than of avarice,
narrow self-interest, and the capitalist work ethos.

My vision of socialism is a system where all work is valued but family and
community come first and every worker will have the latitude to take time
from work to tend to family and contribute to community.  But then, that's
just romantic fantasizing, right???
