Hard physical labor is subjective. An Egyptian that worked on the Great Pyramid may consider the work a rancher does as not being labor intensive, a rancher may consider the work a landscaper does as not being labor intensive, a landscaper may consider the work a graphic artist does as does as not being labor intensive and so on.
I would believe that most people in this country consider the work that a fire fighter, or a rescue worker does is an honorable and labor intensive way of life.
Science inexorably moves forward giving us tools to become more productive. One example would be farmers that use GPS and large machines with soft seats and air conditioning to harvest vast swaths of land. Is the work that they do any less honorable than the work a farmer did 100 years ago with oxen and plow? I would say it has les to do with honor and more to do with the green back, or should I say, what’s left of the green back.
As portrayed by the media. The string of words is laughable. The media would have its viewers believe many things that I don’t buy into. That discussion is best left to the now defunct Maelstrom thread. If there ever was a profession that has lost honor and integrity, mainstream media would be it.
