Venezuela's Chavez proposes six-hour workday | U.S. | Reuters

In case anybody wonders why Chavez is so popular in Latin America...
President Hugo Chavez proposed a constitutional change on Wednesday to reduce Venezuela's maximum workday to six hours as part of broader legal changes to advance his self-styled socialist revolution.
Not wanting to be upstaged, I propose America adopt a maximum six hour work week! We're ultimately shooting for zero, but we must do these things in stages. We must escape our go-go meth habits and transition slowly into an MDMA (Ecstasy) economy. While doing this we can begin the import of large quantities of marijuana (until we can meet demand domestically) and increase availability of psychedelics. Until this transition is complete, people will not be prepared for total avoidance of work.
