[quote:Anonymous Coward 75219614:MV80MDExMzIwXzcyNjE2NTIyXzg4Rjk2RkRE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1387592:MV80MDExMzIwXzcyNjE2MzY3Xzk4NzIyMkU0] You can have your pastoral existence again if you really want it. You're free that way. But going back in human history, agriculture may have been a big mistake and damaging to natural human existence of hunting and gathering. Pick your apples and feed the domesticated animals if it makes you feel better but 1750 wasn't the pinnacle of human existence. And anyway, St Reagan killed off the small farms in the 1980s in favor of big corporations. [/quote] From how I remember it seems like the mid 1980's small towns starting having a lot more crime problems, inflation starting to kick in, more EPA regulations etc. Just everything in general got a lot more complicated. I remember when school lunches went to crap. We had about 150 kids in my K through 8th grade school, One cook could take care of the whole lunch she would make homemade chili, huge cinnamon rolls, beans and cornbread,then about my 6th grade year we got two new cooks and corn dogs and pizza. Really changed a lot. [/quote]

I can never go back to my early days growing up on the farm. Had time to enjoy each day, the warm sun the hay in the barn. Even with all the work there was to be done. Eating an apple off the tree, taking a long drink from the cool spring. Working the garden.....What the hell happened.
