COULD WE REVERT?

Watched a old movie last night OLD YELLER. for those that haven't seen it(if any) you should it is in my opinion a classic.

while watching the movie i realized how lazy people are now a days. the movie was created in 1957 but based on a family in the pioneer days living in a cabin. the youngest child even asked what money was, that's how poor the family is. they hunted their own food and made sure to save up for winter, grew their own crops, drank water i wouldn't even swim in. the oldest boy at the age of 15 did more then adults do now a days. right now everyone is panicked over the economy, losing homes, having hard times, even i am scared. did we become in a sense too spoiled and lazy? maybe we have and we brought this crash on ourselves? i couldn't plow a field, i don't know how. i couldn't kill an animal or clean it and eat it. cooking, milking and making butter myself not getting it from a store. i would starve the first week. what it really comes down to is if we really had to live like that again could we? we are already crying and we have the corner store and electric.
