        Subject: automated but wise

In response to an editorial enquiry that I just made, I received the
following automated response (from a Brazilian anthropologist -- 
the best of its kind I've ever seen, demonstrating that 'automated' 
does not necessarily mean 'heartless' or 'impersonal'. Anyhow, it is 
advice I very much hope we will all take to heart:

> Vamos todos baixar a bola e ficar em casa. Não podemos continuar a
> viver do modo que temos vivido. Temos feito hora-extra e deixado de
> fazer o trabalho essencial. É hora de dizer adeus ao pesadelo
> produtivista.
>
> /Let's slow down and stay home. We cannot continue to live in the way
> we have been living. We have been working extra-hours and not doing
> the essencial work. It's time to say farewell to the productivist
> nightmare./

Yours,
WM
