My Genes Make Me Hate Work


Are you lazy? Well, little darlings, it may not be your fault. It is probably your parents’ fault. That is the latest insight from genetic determinism — Darwinian theory applied to practically everything.
The ABA Journal is very interested in this issue. Someone may get sued. Operating principle: What can be imagined can be litigated.
Until someone figures out how to put one’s ancestors in the dock, however, the only solution for the laziness gene is a big federal program funded through the next federal stimulus program — the one we get once taxes are raised.
I’d put that program together myself, but it’s mid-afternoon and time for my nap.
