we have become a lot more stupid to the real world. hell, 96% of the world couldn't grow or kill their own food. I learned how to field dress animals when i was about 11. not that hard. but what most people lack today is common sense. you might be book smart beyond the rest of the world, but if you got throwed back in time, you couldn't save your ass from a pissed deer. YOU DON'T TO HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE TO BE SMART OR SURVIVE. today life is a lot easier for everyone. we say its so bad, but think about it. how many of us would like to work from sun up to sun down 7 days a week? manual labor, gather food, wood, planting your food, killing the animals, etc.
