Actually A/C reduces the crime and accident rate when used as needed.  (Hot 
people with no relief from heat have little concern for others, there are 
two big robbery/theft seasons in our city, Christmas time and the middle of 
summer.)  It must not get very hot for very long where you guys are from, 
but when it's over 95 degrees and over 50% humidity, (especially for 
several weeks in a row) A/C is the only thing that makes it better.  Simply 
rolling down the windows just gets you a blast of hot, moist air that 
provides virtually no relief except for venting the even hotter air forming 
in the greenhouse of you car.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that of all of inventions, A/C is one of 
my favorites.
