Buzzman, I'll tell ya what I think some of the major problems we are see are. Number one you have too many corporate executives making 50 times what they are worth and that translates down to us paying 10 to 20 times what an item is worth. Same goes with everything from gas to a whatever. Greed that has been mentioned allready on this post you started is running rampant in this country. One of the problems I can see with some of this is the overabundance of foreigners in this country, mexicans, arabs, and whatever. Nothing meant against any nationality but there is no room for so many people from other countries being here. America was a melting pot when she was young but folks the pot has been running over for too long. I went to my uncles funeral earlier this year and could see such a large concentration of asian people living down there. Another problem is everyone is trying to get ahead of everyone else, hey folks I hate to break this to ya but when you die you ain't gonna take it with ya. Yes I like having some things and have been fairly well blessed especially over the past couple of years, but I know that these are material things and when the time comes they will pass. The gas prices are riding on this same greed, they think they may loose a couple million a year when they are making no telling how many million anyhow. there is no sense too it adn they talk about producing oil and gas here, heck put american workers back to work, put young people to work instead of parents buying them everything they want. Make them work for what they get, they will appreciate it much more. Mommy and Daddy buying Junior a brand new car cause he don't have a clue how to fix an older car if it breaks down is a crock! Ain't no kid deserving of a brand new car or truck, there are always some exceptions to the rule but as a general statement I believe this too be true. IN closing, ship the foreiners back where they come from, crank up the plants and refineries, put Americans back to work and make made in the USA mean something again. The oil companies can afford to cut profits for awhile and they really will benifit in the long run if they did cut prices as we would be driving and doing more hence buying more gas and diesel. As I said I don't have anything against any nationalities personlly but it makes me sick to see so many different nationalities, hey folks, like I said the melting pot is and has been running over for a long time.

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
