Totally self sufficient, as in making your own electricty, plumbing, crops and livestock, ect. just basic living off the land.

Ah. The people who said they would love it cannot possibly appreciate the brutally hard physical labor on the survival level. Not much time for pleasure - you work from sunup to sundown and then do the making and mending by lamplight. I lived it until the house and farm were lost to fire. I got a great deal of satisfaction and contentment from it at the time...and sometimes I miss that wonderful harmony with animals and the earth...but I'm glad that today I'm earning a salary and can afford toys like this computer and the time to fool around on Yahoo with it!

human beings can extremely stay the yank dream with each and all of the living expenses (which those illegals by some skill stay with out) yet heavily, electorate in each and every industrialized united states artwork for a living and pay taxes purely to have them fund unlawful asylum seekers interior the call of humanity whilst they're honestly being exploited in jobs below minimum salary that maximum electorate would not desire for above minimum salary. As a blue collar who surrenders his social life to make an honest living, I nonetheless have not got any sympathy for illegals. yet who's rather at fault right here?

I lived all too much like that for a while when I was a boy. I was glad indeed to escape it. I worked from daylight until dark-at least- in dirty and sweaty jobs, e.g. milking cows; feeding them plus horses, pigs, chickens and dogs; hoeing corn and other crops; cleaning manure out of the barn; pitching hay (that hay gets down in your clothes and itches maddeningly); etc. I love to read and paint pictures, but I had little time for that when I spent every waking moment on farm work. You can have my share of the rustic life. I am content on Nob Hill in San Francisco.

absolutely not
to me one of the best things of a technological society is automating those tasks you can to allow for more intellectual activities. I get bored doing the same thing in about 30 minutes and stir-crazy doing them in 2 weeks - guess that's why I'm in research and development

No way. Do people know how much hard physical work would be involved. Little if any discretionary time. How romantic it would be shoveling manure, birthing lambs drawing well water, running to the outhouse in mid February. I don't think so.

I would love to do that for a week to get away from everyday life but turning that into my everyday life would not be so fun. We should cherish all the technological advances that we've made and take advantage of them.

Yes. But I doubt you would find very many other women who would.
