Glen, I gotta ask.... what exactly were you saying with the it was a living hell line?
Were you being facetious? Were you serious?
Not trying to be argumentative. Just wondering. I can envision how someone might view life in less consumer times as primitive. There are certainly attractions both ways.
Here's a short tale that might be on your trail if I'm reading your drift.
Sometime in about 1968 I asked an old ninety year old farmer what one of his fondest memories was of the "good old days". He smiled and said it was his first bite of canned food. Creamed corn. No more fresh stuff for him. He loved canned food. Don't have to hoe it, don't have to pick it, don't have to shuck it.
Might that be what you are talking about.....?

Assume the best and ask questions.
