"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

Bruce C. Thornton, a professor of Classics at American University of Cal State Fresno

What's that Lassie? You say that dan fell down the old rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue by Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:01:44 GMT:

I knew someone was going to say something like that.

Trail maintenance. Now that my horse is gone, I do a lot more hiking and the trails are in rough shape.

Ah, you're in good company. Lew Hartswick and his wife (I never can remember her name) do that ouside of Albuquerque, NM, or did in 2001, anyway. Very nice folks. Family, even.

A folding pruning saw and a military entrenching tool, or some of the sturdier camping-store copies, are pretty good for removing brush, rocks and roots in the trail when you are alone and far enough in that size and weight matter, though they're not the best tools for a work crew. For them I bring the chain saw and rope. Round-end, straight- handle shovels and the all-steel telescoping rakes have worked well, the rakes can dig into rough stuff when only slightly extended.

Sharpen one edge of the entrenching tool to chop roots and set it at the right-angle position for hoeing and leveling. Bring a small triangular file to keep both sharp.

I got just about all of those things, and use all of it from time to time. I prefer a cutter mattok(grub hoe) to the entrenching tool. We have lots of rocks here(granite) and the grub hoe is good for prying up stones.

Haven't used the chain saw in a while, it gets heavier the father I tote it. Now I think it needs its carb. cleaned. Sat too long.
