I found this article and found it interesting. Many of the family that we talk about here look back fondly at the "good old days" without realizing the amount of work that had to be done.

Too bad they aren't actually doing the same work required in the 'good old days'. They would be way too busy to blog or get involved in politics.

I really enjoyed that book (Little Heathens). I can't see most of the fundies we snark on doing that amount of intense work just to get by.
