When an subject is controversial, one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the predjudices, the idiosyncracies of the speaker.

Opinion : Hard work

Slate has an interesting article about how lower wage people have more free time then the wealthy. The author describes the problem in detail and makes jokes about solving closing the gap, but he never considers one of the most obvious reasons for the gap: The first thing that occurred to me is that the gap was caused by the fact that successful people generally work harder. I might even go as far as saying that this study proves that people who make less money do so because they are lazy, and therefore deserve their low incomes.
