   Labor wasn't so much an issue in ancient times.   
   And there was little or no concern for the well   
   being of the workers. OSHA wasn't going to come   
   after you...   
      
   Time wasn't as big of an issue. Things took longer.   
   Even when I was a kid I remember going to school   
   with someone from "The Old World," talking about how   
   it took five years to build a house over there. And   
   that was when I was a kid, not 2,000 years ago.
