There are people who go thru life using and abusing things. There are
people like most of us on the list who are just the opposite. We
built and make things work. The only difference is once you know
about how something is made and all the work it takes to keep it
together, you no longer will abuse it.

 A good friend said everyone who drives should have to pass a
motorcycles and tractor trailer drivers licence.  I add to that
and buld your own car!  There  wouldn't be a need for auto insurance.
