Ben Franklin Active Dead Guy

1758 Ben Franklin states "It would be thought a hard Government that should tax its People one tenth Part of their Time, to be employed in its Service. But Idleness taxes many of us much more, if we reckon all that is spent in absolute Sloth, or doing of nothing, with that which is spent in idle Employments or Amusements, that amount to nothing. Sloth, by bringing on Diseases, absolutely shortens Life."

He also was quoted as saying "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise."

History shows that Mr. Franklin died in 1790 at at the childs age of 84. Perhaps if Mr. Franklin spent a little less time waking up at dawn, chasing the wealth, and running around with kites, and more time working on his slothfulness he'd still be here today.

Franklin, you forefather, with all your wisdom, why didn't you realize that dying is wrong.
