My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
Having considered the morality of the issue, and its dire ramifications, everyone nodded gravely before going on with what they were doing. Moral suasion and mere principle were no match for self-interest and economics.
