     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.
