....they do things differently there.

Imagine living in a World where...

- very few people get to be very elderly
- most adults you know are either married or in religious orders

- if you needed to travel 300 miles, you may well walk the journey
- most of the food you consume was produced within a 20 mile radius of your home

- tons of kids everywhere, many of them dying every year.
- you can listen to live music or no music.

...really the objective here is to illustrate how insane our current 'normal' is. By contrasting it with the normal for most of human history.

Focussing on anytime from the first appearance of Homo Sapiens up to about 1900 AD & the carbon age please. A history you know existed but never saw.

''The World your grandparents were born into has more in common with the World of Julius Caesar than it does with your World'' Alvin Toffler 1970 ...to paraphrase.

They had all enjoyed a nice pudding as well.
You were still staring at your cold congealed overcooked cabbage or sprouts in fatty gravy! Yuk.
But you weren't going to give in!
Well not until 35 minutes had gone by as your backside was getting numb and you needed the loo!!!!

Ha ha, yeh, times were a lot harder back then, but by the amount of moaning on here you would never know YT.

newspaper, cut into squares.
soap you could club a mammoth to death with.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.
