That has been one of the things I try to say.  Most work we do is make 
work, jobs that are little more than shuffling something on to someone 
else.  The real jobs, people who make things or teach are disappearing and 
are given less importance all the time.Arranging a "deal" seems to be more 
important than teaching a kid to read or growing a good tasting tomato.

We are busily selling the same case of tuna over and over to 
ourselves.  One of these days someone is going to have to open a can to eat 
to find it full of stink.
