Actually, our forefathers were able to accomplish what they accomplished BECAUSE they had so much spare time on their hands! Most of them were aristocrats in a world in which the lower class MUST spend their time hunting for their food and doing laundry in a creek and thus were not able to FIND time to get a classical education, to learn to read and write and to learn to invent and do what the founding fathers of ours suggested. They didn't HAVE to hunt or do the work for themselves, they were wealthy, they hired people to do that so they could have spare time to use for their endeavors!
And seeing as how you have eluded to your lifestyle, I must assume that you are in the same position as the lower class at that time, having to spend your time doing such chores and not having the time to attain an education, for if you did, you would know this of our founding fathers and would not use their names to condemn others for this purpose. In terms of having spare time, they were MASTERS, and they spent their spare time doing what they did.
Unless you are poverty stricken, you choose to spend your time rejecting the modern conveniences that modern people enjoy. That doesn't make you any busier than people who use their time to utilize modern conveniences so that they will have time to do things that they deem to be more important.
The word is "alluded", and no, you read my post wrong. And, how are "most" of our forefathers aristocrats?? All "forefather" means is our past generations (ancestors), it's no indication of wealth or status.
I assumed that you were talking about our more influential forefathers. If you were talking about the lower class forefathers or much further back into history then I apologize for the misconception but I still stand by most of my post.
Are you busy??
