[Leica] Be enlightened: Work for free!

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

People who work for “free” but somehow manage to eat, wear clothes, sleep indoors, travel, use computers, etc. – and probably at something above the bare-necessities-of-subsistence level – live on the kindness or gullibility of those who DON’T work for free! I wonder whether this moral contradiction ever gives them pause. I doubt it.
