Simple people definitely are <i>not</i> better. Simpler tasks mean regression in the means and meaning of taking the time, energy, and know-how to <i>really</i> do it. Times are neither better nor worse. They just are. If anything, I'm more apt to believe happenings are always cyclical. Just a tad more expansion, here..

Now it seems that fear of terrorism is the new source of tension. DCMovieGirl: Despite our advances we've got more kids who can't form a coherent sentence than ever before. Is that progress? or evolution? That's just one example where simpler isn't necessarily better. snay: Not that there aren’t tensions here and there, but for the most part a religious tolerance that pervades here has prevented a lot of the civil war that we’ve seen across the pond.

Things took longer and were harder to do. The life-expectency was lower. Women and minorities had few, if any rights. I think <i>we're</i> the ones who are getting simpler, which each new invented convenience. There were no simpler times.

Sure we had corruption and war and disease and a lot of other things going on, but things always seem more elevated now. I partially blame the media for shoving it in our faces all the time and us for letting it happen. Snay: My view — though somewhat limited by age — is that that times are changing.
