The DrudgeReport has two related articles up on vacations. First, Americans - who already suffer from a serious vacation deficit compared to Europeans - are taking shorter vacations. Few people take a two week vacation anymore, and most people stay attached to the outside world with cell phones and e-mail. Bad bad bad! Second, yesterday Papa Ratzi warned people not to work too hard, to take time out for prayer and contemplation. Not the first time Pope Benedict has recommended more vacation time!
As Relapsed Catholic notes, that's why they call it the Protestant work ethic.
