enuf lafter?

let's spell it "enuf" because 4 letters cut it, don't need 6
& be sure to spell "radicle" as the botanists do for rootlets

it's radicle to say 20 hours of work a week is enuf
because we don't want more stuff stuff stuffed w. stuf

"we remained self-deceived, and so incapable
of receiving enuf grace to restore us to sanity."
((near bottom of pg. 32 in the 12 and 12))

enuf grace does it, that means no less and no more
sloth and wrath bracket more, more, more and more

20 hour week could cut everything in halfs
including gluttony, lust, greed, envy -- but not big lafs

let's get the ugly english "ugh" out of american
as we seek the balance of many 12/8 paths

20 hour week

"if the world as we know it was to be safe,
then we have to break up the big empires,
the big powers,
who are the cause of all our troubles."

"To be small or not to be at all.
That is the question.
The large have no future."

Leopold Kohr in "Why Small Is Beautiful: The Size Interpretation of History"
October 1990 E.F. Schumacher Lectures

decentralize decentralize
work where you live
live where you work
bring on the 20 hour week
no shirk no go berserk

everyone employed insured
on one overburdened
bored at one gig try another
stop overproduction
brother save our Mother
