Stephen King worked at menial jobs for years just so he could someday have the privilege of benefiting society. <br /><br />I spent an hour composing a comment that rivals A Modest Proposal in both tone and brilliance--well, no, although what I wrote is brilliant, it is considerably meaner that its model and not at all modest--but then I deleted it. Some people still (maybe) think I'm a nice person, and I don't want them to stumble across this and discover my true nature.
