[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3341978, member: 17825"] I don't know, my family is from rural Georgia. my papaw didn't get electricity until 1953 after that rural electrification thing. they got a lightbulb in the kitchen. they sure didn't have any plumbing. my Great grandfather grew up in the great depression, but they were so poor it didn't even effect them much. he taught my grandfather and his brothers to eat everything off the plate, because they didn't know when they'd get to eat next. they farmed cotton and peanuts from dusk til dawn. people are worried about the economic health of this country, but they don't know what real poverty is. we've become so materialistic that we've lost sight of what's really important in our society, the family and community. what's the point of preserving economic strength if we sacrifice our loved ones and the weakest members of our community by allowing this virus to spread? no doubt we'll spring back, our foundations are strong. to paraphrase farmer alex skillet from a newsreel i saw at the beginning of a song by 'Alabama'; "We're Americans, and Americans have been through a lot of hardships, but we'll fight this through."
