there was once a time where people actually fixed things. not just

how to look at a problem and solve it. look at old popular mechanics
magazines for one example. heck, they practically assumed you had a
welder in the garage. and you know what, you probably did.

ah but times have changed. thinking has become a thing of the past.
spending is the new thing.

every time i suggest anything requiring some thought or innovation, one
of you guys comes out of the woodwork and attacks me for being 'unsafe'
or just plain crazy. it gets tiring trying to explain myself to you one
track minded idiots that have long since lost the ability to think.
maybe there should be a seperate group called
alt.home.pay.someone.to.fix.it.cause.i.cant.think. for.myself.

i give up. just toss it and buy a new one. if it doent exist, pay
someone to do your thinking for you. i figure at the current rate of
knowledge degredation, its only a few years before everything simply
becomes disposable anyway. we arent that far off now. the plug and play
house and the disposable education.
