Watch it bub.

The way this place is going, I may have to break out a, as dear mother used to say "H E double toothpicks"

Maybe even a dagnabbit.

Actually...the way I figure...I have been totally wrong about 3 specific technology advancements in the past.


Power steering on 4 wheelers, net wrap on round baler, and batt op power tools.


Not going to make the same mistake again.


Battery operated power tools!!! The hell you say!



A wise man is frequently humbled.

DON’T BE TOO PROUD OF THIS TECHNOLOGICAL TERROR YOU’VE CONSTRUCTED. THE ABILITY TO DESTROY A PLANET IS INSIGNIFICANT NEXT TO THE POWER OF THE FORCE.

Other than the Bill of Rights, the Constitution places very few limitations on state governments. The individual states are pretty much free to do as they please as long as the voters are in agreement. This would include building dams and canals, subsidizing businesses and sporting events, and even outlawing gasoline engines.

That same Constitution places limitation on the federal government. Since its exception, the federal government has grown larger and more intrusive. It uses taxation and tax revenue to influence people’s behavior. It uses tax revenue to influence state laws. We have reached the point the federal government doesn’t even use tax money any more, they just print money.

My point is electric technology is advancing and we are making improvements but some things are not ready for prime time. Look at the advancements in battery powered tools. Battery powered automobiles are entirely serviceable for some applications but they are not acceptable for everyone. Capitalism will solve these problems without government interference. Everything in government is agenda driven. When homeless people decide they need a home they will get one.
