History revisted

Went to the Shrewsburry ren. fest yesterday...it reminded me of just how much i enjoyed history especially medieval history..i think it's because of the complexity of the time. The era seems to be so different from ours yet there are plenty of similarities even a definite connection to how so much of what makes up today came into being. In particular with regards to the lower classes of people. In western civ.  I used to think that i'd have wanted to be around in that time but yesterday i realized that maybe it would be the same stuff, different day as it were. Is it posible that people have been dealing with the same basic issues for over 600 years?!

Yes Frejolita, it is possible that people have been dealing with the same stuff for 600 years. The invention of money, power and privilege saw to it that some would have more than enough, some enough and some would never quite make ends meet.
