But that is artificial, our physiognomy was developed at higher temperatures. Fine, but unless you want everyone to walk around naked again, something has to compensate for the additional problems of wearing clothing. Air conditioning can do that. If we were meant for colder climates we have more body hair, a lot more. We were meant to be adaptable. Why in the hell did we develop the power to sweat? To resist the arctic winds! It's the only efficient way to cool ourselves. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

It has been awful here in Brisbane. It's meant to be winter but it was
26ºC the other day. Last night it was actually hot like a summer night. Horrendous. I am arranging migration to London next year. Horrendous? Were you born in the Antarctic? You should be enjoying the rain today:-) Cheers, Alan, Australia Yes it was 18ºC yesterday... coldest day in two years. |

Efficiency and economy are not the same thing. We were talking about productivity. What are the Americans producing, exactly? Only about 10% of the total labor now is involved in manufacturing, 90% into services. A nation of hamburger flippers. Boy! you're a real ex-pat ain't yer! |
