Now even the American Indians found their standard of living to be greatly
enhanced by steel knives that almost never wore out, and other "high-tech"
accouterments.
Allegedly, there is another advancement that has came along to complicate the
discussion. Supposedly, with the advent of Agro-forestry, farm ponds, cell
phones, home generated electricity and modern transportation it is possible
or becoming possible to live on acres of unimproved weeds and woods that come
close to feeding a family with very little involvement in labor. In this
scenario people have the privilege of living in a scenic setting, of getting
an assist in their cost of living and still have enough time to go out and
work at a profession. I am told the tax collector has difficulty finding
much to tax.
