I will try to make my point better. Most of us on this site live in rural areas and are somehow involved with agriculture. Others are interested somehow. We all think of western farmers and ranchers as a rugged independent group, and no place is this idea spread on thicker than here in the western North Dakota. The trouble is, for most of us rural and ag people it is just not so. For every tax dollar North Dakota sends to DC we get back $1.50, only Alaska does better. States like CA and CT get back about 50 cents. I farm 3000 acres and have 200 cows, not big for around here. Everyone here is on the government dole, direct payments, EQIP payments, crp,disaster payments, WRP, LDP, conservation cost share, research at the Universities, ect. We are going to get paid to capture carbon. This is not unique to ND, all production ag works like that. If you want to farm you are going to play the game. Our average age is old, SS payments, Disability payments, medicare. For the last few months the talk At the FSA office, Church and the bars is how socialized medicine will distroy the country. It is usually the guys getting the biggest government checks complaining the loudist. Our hospitals recieve massive federal subsidies already. As does the training of doctors, nurses ect. So to answer your question, no, I have no right to Amtrak, or USDA payments, highways, public schools, subsidized airline service from Dickinson and Williston, health care, REC, the southwest water pipeline, the weather service, the firedept, the police and untold other things that socialism pays for. I get it though, just like the guys complaining about health care reform. I don't have a clue about health care reform, but I know that insurance premium rate increases of 8-10 % a year are not sustainable. I think though I do have a right to mail, I believe the Post Master is in the constitution.

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
