Those in Rome thought it better to live the easy life in the city too. How well that worked out!

Hopefully, because of the economy and they will return. No, many will just jump on the govt dole "to get by" and join the takers in further throttling the Republic to death. The govt has done a great job at killing off many of the small farms, and I don't expect them to stop any time soon. Plus we got the gimme generation of youngsters who would never work a crop field, its the I'm gonna get "mine" the easy way mentality.
