Darn right! And don't forget that this society is also a lot less implicated in the destruction of the planet than we are.

I recommend the book Against Civilization by John Zerzan. His argument is very hard to refute - that humans were better off in hunter-gatherer societies where we had a life expectancy in the mid-40s, but would only spend a few hours a day on "work" and the rest hanging out, and where we didn't destroy the world.

I mean, that sounds like the dullest life, and I would hate it knowing what I know now, but if I didn't...

Still, can't turn the clock back. Someone was going to eat the Apple of Technology, and no, I don't believe the patriarchy when they blame some chick for doing that.
