By Greg Redlawsk. "Paying your dues""it's a pervasive refrain, and one that clearly lives deeply within us; it has gotten under our skin and through our veins. I can't help but think that it's a lie. The concept of "paying dues" implies a sort of social contract that's simply no longer present, if it ever was.
