Yeah, I'm sure had they tasted air-conditioning, they would have opted to do without. I like hot over cold myself - why I didn't like living in NH, but I wouldn't want to give up my AC in my car or home or anywhere I go on a hot summer day in Texas.Believe it or not people DID live in Texas prior to the invention of air conditioning. Personally, I prefer it hot over cold anyway.
So, you think we have an improper society? Your idea of what is proper and what isn't may just be a matter of opinion and not necessarily good.I believe many of those things can still exist in a proper society.
But by whose standards? Like I said in the previous statement, your idea of what is proper is not everyone else's idea. I've seen some awful behavior coming from Reps in Congress toward the president, but most Reps/cons would think it was proper, even defended it.I think we just need to take a step back and realize what the appropriate bondaries on the use and implementation of those devices ought to be.
Since I have no idea to what you are alluding, it is hard for me to comment. I live a proper life, based on my own assessment of my life, but someone else might not like the way I live, and who am I to push my beliefs on others?Some of the things we've created might not be useful in a moral society, but many would be, even if their uses might be somewhat restrained. In my mind it is more important to live a proper life than a fun or pleasant one.
