‘Specialization is for insects’
26th June 2007
Blogger Dr. Helen has started an advice column on Pajamas Media. Her first post is about when she thinks every adult should be able to do. She used the famous quote from The Master:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
She has a few good ideas of her own, in my humble opinion. To my embarrassment, I cannot drive a stick.
Dr. Helen also gets added to the blogroll.
