as for deaths in the middle ages i was reffering to england.....which lost over half of it's population, allowing peasants and the like to not only get paid for the first time but rise up in teh ranks and become lords and barons themselves.

my comparison however was teh sheer unstopable force of teh black death in the past...and teh simple truth that it is cureable now....it wasnt before.

thanxx for the details tho
