Food for a faceless and cozy thought (7)
---------------------------------------

I think what we need to ask ourselves, is having email and a phone line
important, or a measure of civilization, happiness etc? Certainly not
in my estimation. Yes we have to have money of some type for these
things. The question begs, are they important to measure happiness/
civilization. The leap into modernization is not all that simple
sometimes. I would think that health is the first priority, followed by
perhaps increased wages / living conditions. After these types of
things are achieved then the phone / email can be achieved with
education etc for those who want it.

I also think self sufficiency is whatever you want it to be. A bushmen
in Africa is quite self sufficient thank you. I believe that he would
prefer that we leave him alone, he don't care what everyone else is
doing.

Technology is not a measure of nor should it be included in the equation
of "What is self sufficiency?" One can be happy and prosperous to some
degree as long as he/she is healthy.
