Thanks for finding that info Neocon! If more people bothered to read, they would learn a lot about labor, and slavery....Unfortunately, slavery has been in history since time began, as near as I can see. Sad, but true.

Also, historically, the reason that early families had so many children, was they were needed to work on the land to support the families (since at least year 1000) ....So the industrial revolution was just an offshoot of that historical tradition. Unfortunately, this "tradition" continues in MANY places in the world even today!

Best Places to Live
The Best Small Cities

Boulder, Colorado. The best small city, Boulder's high points are good education, clean air and water, and good job growth. The secret of its high-quality water? Much of it is from Arapahoe Glacier nearby in the Rockies. Boulder attracts people who love nature and being outside. You'll find abundant recreation all year round: climbing, hiking, skiing, and biking. Residents enjoy low rainfall (16 inches a year), high snowfall (60 inches a year), and plenty of sunny days to be outdoors.

Home to a university, Boulder is a haven to anyone who loves a good book. Cultural amenities are many: galleries, concerts, and restaurants. Boulder offers a low crime rate and good schools. Average commute time is 20 minutes. What's not so good? The cost-of-living is slightly above the national average and housing costs are climbing, but unemployment is low and the forecasted job growth rate to 2010 is a healthy 16.90%.
