If I were to give the creators and legislators of such things the benefit of the doubt, and say that they were honestly attempting to "do for you", as opposed "do to you", I would say that the highway to hell is paved with good intentions. But, I"m a synic, and believe that there"s something much more sinister at work here, and that"s a premeditated weakening and dismantling of our American society and strengths. Children are no longer tought at school, they are mentored and molded into anything but scholars, more aptly, brainless, thoughtless jellyfish. Parents are being replaced by "educators". And do that class after class, generation after generation, and you systematically dismantle America as we know it. Abraham Lincoln said, "You do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong", and there was a time where we wouldn"t accept or allow such a thing to happen, yet now it is the norm, not the exception. Well, I don"t know about you or anyone else, but if I had children, it wouldn"t "take a village" to raise (indoctrinate) them, it would take their parents to raise, love, and nurture them. Enough of that, it rained all last week and the Allis and the Deere sat out all week (coffee cans over the stacks). Figure got moisture in the mag on the Allis, so couldn"t belly mow. And the Deere fired right now, but caught a stump with the guard on the front of the bush hog and bent it back and down, now acts more like a submarine gouging the grass. Can"t mow until I fix them, because got no children to send out to broaden their horizons by having them fix them. Darn.

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
