Got a little side tracked (but not really) on our discussion of the demonization of play and the exaltation of labor, but most morality is rooted in disgust so good, evil, disgusting, compelling, you get it. Next week I will wrap this three part Schauer Thought and hopefully your perspective shifts and pores clear out.
