Topiary Cow: AND, those who see nothing wrong with having ten children continue to educate them in a way that just harks back to Medieval times. Very, very patriachal (did I spell that right?)

dbcooper: I think there is a limit on how much pointless pressure a human brain can endure on a constant level. Even just the noise level of day to day living has reached a point where I am always "aware" of some sort of beep, hum or ring of some appliance telling me it is off, on or I am wanted etc.

Karen: I can really understand how people sell up and go and live in a small town away from the city. I would love to do that - er, um, as long as there is interent access of course.

I cannot be annoyed at all progress can I now?

Getting home, the best thing.

Bruce: There is a suburb not far from us that is really, really costly to live in. In one small section, across the road from the beach, is an area that has maybe half a dozen roads that are still dirt! No one will let the council change it. People rarely sell their homes and if they do, the prices are insane and whoever moves in wants that "country" look. When you walk through the area you would swear you were back 100 years. It is great. Big trees, dirt roads, natural grooves where the water runs. It is great. And only two minutes away is a busy beachside road.

They live well without change, why cannot everyone else? What about the beauty of a place?

I could go on.

This raises a lot of issues in us all over time. Change is inevitable, but is it always better? It isn't just you. The world is getting crowded and more fast paced. It isn't a matter of us getting older, it really is happening. Where we live, in the American Southwest, the change is happening so fast that many residents are trying to put the brakes on it before all the history of the cities is paved over with new concrete. It isn't easy. Progress often times does not care whose toes it steps on.

My entire life has been about change, so it doesn't really affect me too much. I feel a momentary pang of discomfort, then plow through it. I can adapt to many different situations, but the one constant in my life has been that relaxed feeling of getting home, nesting in, and enjoying my life within the safe haven of my family. This was a great post. Really makes you think.

I think in our lifetime we will have gone through way more changes than did our parents but our kids will go through way more than us. Is that as good thing?? In my opinion the jury is still out on that question.

Pretty sure all the changes are from the doubling and tripling of the earth's population and the constant movement of those with little moving to countries where they might get more.

Fasten your seatbelt as many people in this country anyway seem to see nothing wrong with having 10 kids each, and religious conservatives consider it their duty to out-breed the heretics.

Moo!
