Generally Speaking
Being a frequent visitor to the History Channel, I am often amazed at how mankind has overcome obstacles by doing something that was at first undesirable, uncomfortable,or just too costly. They just wanted someone else to do it, did not foresee the situation arising, or they just plain screwed up and had to get themselves out of trouble. Possibilities arise when mankind is put under pressure to find solutions.
