You do have a point there. If only we could go back 500 years or so and change things eh.
Just think, many of the people now advocating change would still be living in mud huts somewhere, no education, no medicines, no amenities, and free from all racism, persecution and slavery . . . well apart from that which was already going on of course.
The good old US of A wouldn't be much of a super power either, you know, with those bows & arrows fired from horseback.
Yep, pity that our forefathers didn't have the 'insight' to see how wrong they were.
Of course the Romans (and others) aren't completely blameless either, coming over here and giving us straight roads, sewers, baths etc etc . . . the rotters.
Anyway, can't stay, I'm hungry and need to go poach one of the Kings deer and hope I don't get set upon by brigands . . . why is there never a policeman when you want one?
