We make a lot of jokes here, and around the blogosphere, about what “hard work” it is to blog. In truth, it is. No, really! I won’t bore you with the emotions and thoughts I have about the burdens of blogging, or not, but let me say that I can totally understand why it is these “for pay” type bloggers are dropping like flies. And frankly, I think it’s a future many will unhappily come to appreciate. This is what life is like, when the entire “economy” revoloves around poor, desperate people selling junk from somewhere else to other poor, desperate people who also need to convince someone to buy something. All so a few rich people can be richer.

We all disapprove of prostitution for a reason. Not because it’s “dirty,” but because it’s dehumanizing. When will we apply the same logic to our ’legit’ work environment?
