Lynn:
You covered both sides of the argument in your response.. but maybe your 
brothers have it right! Just like most everyone who lived in this Country 
from the 1600's until the 1950's. I personally do not believe GOD intended us 
to live under the extreme stresses the "worker bees" are under. We created 
this mess by wanting more and more material things. We began to have less and 
less time for our neighbors, communities and our own Churches. Being a 
"Worker Bee" is not how life is best lived. I am also a "Worker Bee" and now 
I want to leave the hive.
