Thanks for a post that inspires so much though and intelligent discourse. I myself have no wish for a primitive lifestyle. I love modern conveniences and am especially grateful for the medical care we have in this period of history. I hate outhouses and go crazy without my computer. That being said, there are some things I wish were different about our modern world - worship of celebrities, the "keeping up with the Joneses" stuff, the fact that many kids are obese because they sit in front of some type of screen all day long. I walked everywhere in my suburban town when I was a kid and it was definitely to my benefit. We didn't have a television when I was in high school (I'm not quite sure why) so I sometimes felt "out of it" when kids were discussing popular shows of the day but I read, read, read all the time. I guess there are good and bad parts of every lifestyle choice. Thank you for inspiring us to think about this questions of "the good old days" vs. modern life. Thanks too for wonderful and insightful comments. Wow, I don’t usually read every single comment when there are this many but I was intrigued by all the diverse points of view.

I've had moments when I've been seriously tempted to get one of those bumper stickers that says, "My poodle is smarter than your honor student." LOL! With absolutely no offense meant to any smart kids anywhere, honest! And March, a neighbor has a mid-sized poodle and the breeder coined the term "moyen" for it. Sounds very classy, non? (Although the AKC people sniff their noses at the term, we don't care. We don't show our poodles, we just live with 'em.) Yep.

They're so easily dismissed as foofy dogs and nothing could be farther from the truth. Weimareiners (sp?), on the other hand... The smartest dog I ever had was a poodle.

Bandit as well. I've been cravin' leather like a madman for some reason. I need more, more, more. I’ve followed your advice, love, and have been rockin’ the Cuir Ottoman. Bandit as well.
