But life was also shorter and more brutish in all sorts of other ways. I'm cool with the life I have now! I see what you’re saying, Alicia, about life being simpler back then.

DNA analysis is more clear cut in some ways.

(Well, in my opinion, haha.) Universal profiling at birth in order to do just about everything but eat, sleep, and potty. Well, unless of course you need a home to eat, sleep, and potty in! At the risk of being made fun of (and I often take that risk so...haha - but Hsien and Steve sort of alluded to it anyway), I sometimes flirt with the idea of how much simpler things would be if I could go back to my great-grandparents' ways of living off the land. In every sense of the word. Oh, and not to push religion in anyone's face, but isn't this similar to what's been sort of predicted in Christianity? I'm not up to par with Christianity or the Bible, but it seems awfully familar to something... No, this IS crazy Steve - you and Laura are both right. (Well, in my opinion, haha.)
