The internet can touch every house is the world(that is connected) in minutes. It's nice to have progressed as a people this far, but lots of jobs will be lost in the transition and I'm sure it will not be pleasant. The Post Office can touch every house in America in one day.

There is definitely a compulsive disorder at play here - an attempt to fill a void that is never filled. From what little I've seen of the TV show, as well as stories I've read locally, many of these prople have adult children who love them, but who don't live with them. Listening to these people who don't have animals, so much as lots of things - many of which are absolute junk - these things are a desperate attempt to make them feel secure, somehow. As a confessed pack-rat myself, I have tried to be vigilant and watch for signs that I'm crossing that invisible line between "pack-rat" and "hoarder." I suppose the difference is, after awhile, I get disgusted at the clutter and I start cleaning and throwing things out. You may be correct about the animal hoarders.
