    Modern economies do not relay on the human back to do the heavy
lifting.
We do not rely on horses to move produce.  So?

   This is a  flat-out lie.  In 2006 for the first time half the human

fewer and fewer (in percentage terms too) rural dwellers.  Half of all USA
counties are LOSING population.
