Mother Shipton was the only one in the confining cabin that didn’t have something specific to look forward to after the mountains, yet she had been living her life the way she choose before the exile.

How come no one ever has the urge to stand up for them, to claim for what they deserve? Hank suggests that these humble men, “these poor ostensible freemen” (92), they have no idea what freedom really means. They’ve never experienced such freedom comparable to what Hank did in the modern world. In their naive and narrow mind, they believe the ways things are now are the ways they should be. When Hank mentioning the voting system to them in the modern world, they all seems to be confused.
If a talented player is on a successful team, they’re going to want to stay on that particular team regardless of a few million dollars. Quality players are willing to lower their expectations of what they think they should be getting paid in order to stay on their winning team.
