Oh they absolutely did have their dark times, as well as when they were subjugated to English rule for a while. I'm talking aside from wars and politics, the way of life itself. Farming, trading, hunting, gathering, those aren't necessarily easy things, but simpler. That way of life appeals to me more than the current system we're all a part of. Banks and businesses didn't control life back then like they do now. Oh well, I guess if I really wanted to, I could ingratiate myself with the Sentinelese on their island, granted I don't get myself spinning slowly over a fire.
I know what you mean/feel. I wouldn't mind going back to these times/days:
