No, but I see that you are a fan of Thoreau, who was an insufferable poet and writer.

If Thoreau really wished to live a full life, why did he go to live by himself in a $29 shack by a pond? Why didn't he ever get married, have a steady job, or pay his poll tax? The man was looney and a wannabe Emerson.

I am currently investigating each of those questions. Along those same lines:

Have YOU ever gotten married?
Do YOU have a steady job?
Have YOU ever paid a poll tax?

The man was looney . . .

By the way, does YOUR shack have a pond?
