     I saw a demo at a conference many years ago - I don't remember who 
it was - where
the smith had a hammer in each hand with the work in a vise did an upset 
operation very quickly.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society
is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the
American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
