I agree with the drug thing. I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Drugs were heroin and confined to New York. The mid-60s brought the war protest and changed our view--at least mine--of govermnent. Does anyone still think the government is always right?

We hunted almost anywhere. Hardly ever saw a "No Tresspassing" sign. Same with fishing. We took off for the pheasant and deer opener. Now seeing a pheasant almost makes front page news.

I've been blessed with good kids. One from a previous marriage has become involved in "Make-a-Wish" programs. My son graduated with a 4.22 by taking advanced placement classes and my daughter's GPA will be even higher as she's taking more AP classes.

I have concerns about the survivabilty of this country. Everyone seems to want government to take care of them and bail them out. Why should all of us have to pay for the stupidity and impatience of the few who got in over their head? I worry about terrorists or mentally unstable students shooting up my son's or daughter's school. We've tipped so far, I have to check my pocket knife before I can board a plane or go to court. What happened to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?" Why do they want to take my guns because they can't control the criminals?

I live in the country. I can leave my door unlocked at night, something I never dared do in town.

The world is changing and I fear the snowball affect will speed up our demise. We all gripe about high fuel, but if you drive 55-60 people pass you going 75 or 80. No one seems to be trying to conserve, at least not enough of us. And if we do, the tax revenue will fall, and they'll raise taxes to make up the shortfall. Either way we're screwed.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. 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 ... [Read Article]
