    Clearly written by someone who's never lived without steam power (semi tongue in cheek). But seriously, your ability to expediently research just doesn't compare to the ability to …

    Perhaps more importantly than any of those, often people react out of fear of what they think other people will think. Maybe everyone bitches about gas prices, but we would all get…
