    Nice read. Although I get the larger point, I kept thinking how much I enjoy my gas log fireplace...

    It's a hell of a good post, though. As a species, we find it easy to rationalize our own pleasures.

    John,

    I think Sam Harris would be with you on using gas instead of wood.

    SJH,

    Agreed. I certainly rationalize mine.
