[QUOTE="Wide Awake, post: 83869, member: 829"] As a history teacher I also find that many of the students today are of the opposite opinion, due to their expectations of computers, antibacteria gels, and xboxes. They think that everyone in the past was dirty and stupid. the sad part is that the historical sites play this up when you go to visit now, its not how ingenious they were in the past but how bad and ignorant they were. Case in point the tour guide at Ft. Gaines went on and on about how stupid the designers in the 1840's were to use lead pipes because they cause lead poisoning. He didnt mention that the system at the time was revolutionary when people still didnt have running water. Im digressing, my point is that the truth is somewhere in the middle neither overly good or overly bad they just were. Remember our future children will judge us today the same way as we do the past! You guys are right this is the golden age because never before have we had access to the variety and quality of tobacco and pipes! [/QUOTE]
