Greetings, Neocon. Have you ever read Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series? What struck me even as a child was the enormous physical toil of everyday life and the constant dangers of various kinds.

Yet I cannot help but wonder at times if modernization has freed people from one kind of stress only to toss them into others--for example, corporate restructurings and the like. I also find it a bit unnerving that most people that we encounter would have no idea of how to cope without the trappings of modernity. (I confess that I periodically use a slide rule just to remember how to use it.)
