back in the day..how long was the expected lifespan?

i would argue the modern childhood is proportional to the new extended lifespan. hell, i bet some pilgrim said about dog years, "this dog is 3, so thats like six human years"

back then a toothache would kill someone.

that 14 years old in the first example. yea..back then, running a team of mules, hammering out a horseshoe, those were careers.

now? not a single one of you wouldnt want your kid kicking ass, wielding a pen making deep deep six figures.

i'm proud of my 8+ years of college!!
