“So, do you think life was nasty, brutish, and short in 1905? The Wright brothers were flying for 30 minutes at a crack; Einstein was upgrading the laws of physics; telephones and electric lights were being installed all across America; Henry Ford was getting the final pieces in place for his moving assembly line and Model T; radio was being developed; art was flourishing; and the world was more or less at peace. People in 1905 lived in heated homes, refrigerated their food, had access to professional physicians, traveled the world, read daily newspapers, watched movies, and ate just about the same foods we eat.”
