Sometimes I'd be willing to let go of modern comfort - you know, electricity and the devices that come along, etc - just to roll back in H.G. Wells's machine and send myself back to, let's say, the mid 1800s. Obviously I'd have to deal with that era's issues - and there were a lot, as during any era. But maybe, just maybe, reasoning with others was valued enough to get a chance at being heard, leading to meaningful actions. This said, I am a dreamer. Everyone knows that... :-)
Laurent - I know what you mean about valued reasoning, which is not what we have today. BUT, if I have to deal with issues, I'd rather have electricity and indoor plumbing.

PS: not to mention the dress codes. Maybe not much comfy, yet so classy. LoL!
