Does 9-5 make sense?

No, I don't think it does now, or ever has.

Back in the 60's there was a public debate as to how we as a culture were going to define ourselves.

Either by high intensity work or by a lower intensity work ethic and a more leisurely attitude.We voted for the former and now pay for and buy our leisure.

It saddens me because children suffer most and then those children become adults and carry their scars with them into oblivion. Wondering around talking and acting like robots, repeating mantras of patriotism, capitalism and consumerism to the detriment of the planet and civilized discourse with others whom may disagree with their views.
