Blacksmithing reached perhaps its purest form in the old west. A blacksmith
wanting to set up shop carried anvil and a hammer or so out to make a new
shop, and made all of his tools from scratch. Sorta like Gingerly, the
first couple of tools were hard to make, but after a minimal toolset was
constructed, the work became easier.

Being right is more powerfull than large corporations or governments.
The right argument may not be pervasive, but the facts eventually are.
