all of those studies that say Americans work more hours annually now than any other industrialized nation. We're a country of stressed out lab rats, with us going home, connecting to the corporate VPN every night and on weekends, taking cellphone calls 24x7x365, checking in with the office while on vacation (when we're not too busy to actually TAKE time off), etc.

We don't have time to eat good, mentally unwind, and just plain relax. On top of it all, as we watch the stock market, the economy, the job market, politics, and so on, it's a miracle we all haven't commited suicide yet.
