We’ve got more stuff, and a little longer to play with it, but are we really living better today than 30 years ago? I remember when we only had 3 channels, and were happy to have them. Today we have 300 and always complain that there’s nothing on worth watching.

"Life was a carnival! We entertained ourselves! We didn't need moooovin' pitchurrrres. In my day, there was only one show in town -- it was called "Stare at the sun!" ... That's right! You'd sit in the middle of an open field and stare up at the sun till your eyeballs burst into flames! And you thought, "Oh, no! Maybe I shouldn't've stared directly into the burning sun with my eyes wide open." But it was too late! Your head was on fire and people were roastin' chickens over it. ... And that's the way it was and we liked it!"

Heck yes. Back then life forced you to be happy with what you were able to have. Now, everyone has everything except the ability to be grateful for it.
