A gardener? Replicating vegetables and charging for them is unethical

and antisocial.

Seeds and plants can be replicated at virtually no cost, and it is fun

to do.

And charging for consulting about the gardening.. is being a prostitute.

Why would you want to unethically charge an hourly fee to discuss

gardening? You are holding back something that you should be giving all

your head to, for free. When I speak of freedom, I speak of free sex,

not cost.
