thought of the day 2009 07 29 - modern conveniences

Does it seem to anyone else that modern society just makes more stuff for us to clean up after that makes more work for us to do? When people lived in nature and ran around naked, nobody was waiting for the washing machine to finish. We had more time for things like hunting and gathering and making more tail-less, slightly less hairy monkeys.

When we had dirt floors do you think people had to sweep the floor? When we had stone floors, do you think that people had to vacum the carpet? All we do is make more work for themselves. That's why I plan to sleep in a hammock, in my hut on a small tropical island where I can fish and eat lobsters the size of small children. And wander around naked.
