I’ll take neither, thanks. I don’t believe I posed the question as an either/or. The context of the question was the 12th-16th century the hayday of equitible distrubution of rights. I realize Romanists have a difficult time dealing with the context in reading so I hope my clarification helps.

Well, I guess if your comfortable living with a created religion, I guess you can create your own fantasy time period to live in as well.

You may want to re read both what you wrote and what I wrote. All choices are implicitly either/or at the least, with out options the concept or choice is moot and yes, the "or" can be nothing/no change, which is what was implied in your question. This left poor dumb slobs like me assuming you wanted the context to be a contrast, which is a basis for virtually all choices, between enligntend modernity and the dark, vile, evil, smelly days of the papist monarchey... unless you meant to contrast the 12-16th centuries against the third millennium BC? Was that your context? Clearly I'm out gunned in the smarts department.

You probably spell better than I do too.

Well, even the serfs of the 12th-16th centuries only had to pay a 20% tax, and had far more liberty and holidays than we do. The nobles got stuck with all that icky wars and fighting stuff that lead to things like getting your head chopped off or getting captured by Muslim slavers, while serfs just got to stay home and farm and make the occasional pilgrimage.

Everyone only had wood energy for cooking and heat, everyone ate pretty much the same food stuffs (no luxury imports beyond the occasional spice), houses differed mainly in size, and the Church provided what little medical care and education there was equally. I suppose the rich had linen underwear and the poor had to make do with wool, and the rich got to dye their clothes in fancier colors. How terrible.
