On Slacking

"Every man is, or wants to be, an idler," wrote the great Samuel Johnson in 1758. From Johnson to Ferris Bueller and the great age of Slackers, the appeal of lounging, loafing, goofing off, and vegging out has been huge -- always there, snoozing right behind the work ethic.

This week the NPR show On Point! has an excellent episode exploring slacking and the American work ethic. (note that it's audio)
