Since it's kind of a rainy day in parts of the country,I'll stir it up a little. I saw kind of a disturbing movie on the Comedy Channel yesterday. It was called "Idiocracy". It really hit way to close to home if you think about it. A dullard played by Luke Wilson went ahead in time 500 years just to find out that at that time,he was the smartest person in the world. Everybody just followed fads and causes without thinking. All the crops were dying because they were watering them with a Gatorade like stuff. Billboards all over said it had electrolites,the stuff plants need. When he asked them why,all anybody would say was "it's the stuff plants need",then they looked at him like he was the stupid one. The whole movie was like that. No science,no progress,just dumb@sses beleving everything they read on billboards and such. The president and his cabinet were just a bunch of pot headed partiers.
It just made me wonder how far we'll go toward self destruction before we quit giving in to every cause that some bleeding heart sends down the pike. Every thing from global warming to animal rights,to the race baters,there has to be some faith in real science,real economics and common sense sooner or later. Hopefully sooner....real soon in fact. We're going the wrong way and we can't keep this up much longer. I keep telling my wife,people will come to their senses soon,that hungry people don't care about the luxury of "causes",but everyday,more crap just keeps bombarding us.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
