Okey dokey, I put a search engine on the Wit & Wisdom Blog.
It doesn't "work" 100% yet of course...the original "Wit & Wisdom..." was on the old, pre-Google Blogger, back before there were individual post pages. The original blog consisted of about five ginormous posts. So if you do a search, you're still apt to pull up the index page, where all of the quotes and sayings used to be, but it is starting to crawl the new posts.

It's threatening to rain, has been threatening to rain all day. But this is California; it's a hollow threat. It won't rain.
Hence, you still have to pull the hose off the hose holder and hump it all the way to the back of the garden. I've often thought myself, what my potential is, how so much of it has been squandered. How so many previous generations of women, with their college degrees, ended up doing menial work. As simple as that.
Oh well, let's see if this Doctor Who episode fires.

In the first sentence of An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith foresaw the essence of industrialism by determining that division of labour represents a qualitative increase in productivity. His example was the making of pins. Unlike Plato, Smith did not regard the division of labour as a consequence of human inequality but famously argued that the difference between a street porter and a philosopher was as much a consequence of the division of labour as its cause. Therefore, while for Plato the level of specialisation determined by the division of labour was externally determined, for Smith it was the dynamic engine of economic progress. However, in a further chapter of the same book Smith criticises the division of labour saying it leads to a 'mental mutilation' in workers; they become ignorant and insular as their working lives are confined to a single repetitive task. The contradiction has led to some debate over Smith's opinion of the division of labour.

Ahahahahaha, I have been looking for that for quite a long time.
