If you think people were happier in the US 100 years ago, please provide the evidence to support it outside of anecdotes and wishful thinking.
Just because you feel miserable doesn't mean everyone else does.

Most of the world undergoes human trafficing (new fancy term for slavery etc) and we quit a few decades short of 200 years ago. They are not happier than us because they must deal with terror, deasease, famine, and so forth more than we. Why should they be more happy than us? They DESERVE to complain and take a day off more than most Americans.
Please provide the evidence that people were miserable 100 years ago. Can you? No, only the quotes of very ancient beings.
I never stated that I was miserable, at least I don't recall it if I did. I also never said everyone else was miserable. So then how do you charge me with these things if I never comitted them? I am very happy thank you very much-I have good marks, I have great friends and family, and I love my music dearly. There is food in the basket and a toilet where there should be one so I'm content. Miserable? No. Am I the happiest man on Earth? Well I havn't met him yet so I can't say. I hope not!
