I would like to have been a caveman. Really, I would. Not because I think he lived a better life than we do...he did have more leisure time, though not as many entertaining diversions to fill it with...but because of the things he didn't have to do:
file tax returns
mow the lawn
attend school
send birthday cards
pay bills
iron
keep bank balances
unclog toilets
change diapers
shave
clean the fireplace
wash dishes
wax cars
wear ties
get stuck in traffic
listen to his neighbor's 7 year old kid play the piano
hire lawyers
serve time in prison
stand in lines
get old age disabilities
worry about identity theft
get there on time
HOW DID WE GO SO WRONG?
