specialization

is for insects
A human being should be able to
change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship,
design a building, write a sonnet,
balance accounts,
build a wall, set a bone,
comfort the dying,
take orders, give orders,
cooperate, act alone,
solve equations,
analyze a new problem,
pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal,
fight efficiently,
die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.
