I thoroughly agree that a lot of things are instilled in the minds of people at those young ages, including but not limited to work ethic and respect. The problem as I see it is that legislators whom more out of touch with reality, than with, are running the show. I heard on the radio this morning about some new product that costs like $275.00 per ??? allows the installation of a black box in automobiles aimed at making teenagers better drivers, so that parents can monitor their driving "real time". So, if the youngster drives too fast, hits the brakes too hard, the parents will be able to make the horn honk (and whatever else) so that the youngsters know that they've been bad, and their parents know it "real time". The libs doing the talk show went for it, "great idea, blah, blah, blah, and is voluntary". Most callers into the show (parents) slammed it. The libs then went on, "If saves one life, just onnnnnne life, then is a great idea". Yeah, if saves one, just onnnnne life, wonder how long is gonna be voluntary. It also had me wondering what parent is gonna sit at the kitchen table monitoring this thing as their youngsters are out and about, and what they used to do with their time before got this new greatest thing in the world gizmo? Don't get me wrong. I'm not abusive or mean, but I do think that there are some gambles in life that either end great, and sometimes, don't, unfortunately. Mark

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
