Fair enough, but not as overrated as snow. For something that people rave about, it really is boring. It snowed here in NC last week. NOBODY was happy.

people lived in the South and Florida before AC, it's a convenience. You can't live in the north w/o heat and the laws reflect that.

The population of Florida only started to grow after air conditioning. Nobody could tolerate it before the invention.
