Re: Yet another yuppie making mention

Way back when, on the farm, we didn't have electricity, running water, and Television hadn't been invented yet. You got your water by a manual pump at the well, and you carried it in the house in buckets. We heated with wood that we chopped ourselves. We used candles and oil (hurricane) lanterns for light, but most activity ceased at dusk anyway.
Telephone? You went down to the General Store and used the phone there. There was no dial, no pushbuttons, either. You turned a crank. And a live person would come on the line and ask what party you wanted to reach.
Yep, telephone was a luxury, and so was electricity and running water. We lived just fine without them for the first 60,000,000 years of the human race.
