Prelapsarian Man was ordained to cultivate and keep the Garden. Infralapsarian Man is ordained to earn his keep by the sweat of his brow. Noble labor is a necessary concomitant of Life and Liberty for: Ex nihilo nihil fit.  -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill      4
In the context given, YES — ABSOLUTELY !  Patrick Henry, said well  -- Mike, Norwalk      2
Indeed!  It's the only way 'progress' has ever been made.  Dogs gotta dig and cats gotta scratch — what do humans gotta do? ;-)  -- E Archer, NYC      1
Tending the garden is a great job, if, you enjoy your work. The fruit of your own labor is always sweeter. That being the gift from our Creator. The chase for capital, a worthy cause, never regret the ups and downs, experience is our guide. Enduring hardship with contentment tempers the individual/spirit for honor.   -- Ronw13, Yachats OR      4
