Yes, Rainydreams, but if one fails to empathize with Dawson's fantasy, one misses the point of the show. The empathy is all.
Dawson's fantasy would NOT have been unrealistic in Europe or America 200 years ago. It would not be unrealistic today in a rural village in Africa, India, or China.
Dawson's fantasy is in fact natural and historically normal, and that is is no longer realistic for us is a cruelty that specialization of labor inflicts on modern youth. We pay a higher emotional price for our material prosperity than we commonly understand.

Wait, i'm a little confused. Are you anti-DJ, or are you just here to try and get us to like Dawson? Or sympathize with him? And its not 200 years ago, so...yeah. And it isn't like that in Africa, India, or China. Things have progressed very much in these countries and anyway, i'm not understanding your point.
