    I guess one has spent too much time in church or movies or something, believing that there’s some utopia where berries gratefully fall off bushes into our waiting hands, if only the durn gubmint, or frickin capitalists would get out of our way.

      My dude, I live on a hobby farm. Complete with livestock. I have giant blackberry bushes.

      But please tell me more about how sitting at a desk all day making money for people who don’t know you exist is just so natural. Modern day berry picking even.

        That’s great my dude. My dude, what fraction of your yearly calories come from this hobby farm, my dude? My dude, are you able to actually meet your nutritional needs with this hobby? My dude, is this farm just a hobby? If it meets all your needs, why do you work at all, my dude?
