Ah -- OK.  I get it.  So the pressures of the Great Depression, a couple of world wars, the threat of the atomic bomb, and a few other suchlike minor incidents didn't have much bearing on those young people's lives back then, eh?  It's so-o-o-o-o-o-o much harder today -- with Xbox's and full cable TV + DVD players in every 8-year-old's room.  Tough life.

Those high schooler's of yore had things so much easier than kids do now. :ohmy:

See, that's just the thing...100 years ago, people HAD TO deal with their lives.  The most of a "fantasy" people had to delve into back then was a book, a radio show, or their own imagination gasp.  Now, we've got 500+ t.v. channels, thousands of movies and video games, and no one seems to want to take the blame for anything in society today.  Back then, people had to deal with the depression because it simply was....and it made everyone conserve resources and work hard.  Today?  We've got a recession...But you'd hardly notice it with what people are buying.  Why stock up on non-perishible food items, when you can buy a new PS3?  Or, why buy the $50 converter box for your t.v., when you can spend $1000+ on a brand new flat-screen t.v.?  We don't live in the same reality now that we had 100 years ago.
