You are really dense. My point was that they were very kind and hospitable. They set up for me a nice place to sleep etc ... I stayed there for couple weeks a few times.
These people worked hard during the harvest (I was helping them a little but as a city kid I was rather clumsy) , they had to wake up early to feed animals. They had plenty of time for socialising when out of season. I would say they were quite happy.
They live the way their ancestors lived for centuries. Now it is all modern - concrete, bricks, electricity, TV, indoor plumbing. They are not less happy and not more happy than before.
Stone age living primitive peoples are also "happy", until they are exposed to the modern world. Then, they want what they have never known before. The reverse, with few exceptions ( like the unibomber ),is NOT true. Yet, the poster I was debating, wants everyone to leave the cities and suburban areas of this country and move to ISLOLATED areas and live a preindustial age , in order to deter terrorists from using WMDs here. That whole proposition is ridiculous and ludicrous; as are your posts to me!
