[ATM] when is a transformer not a transformer

[artbianconi@blast.net]

What irony! Last week Lionel corp filed for bankruptcy.

People have a choice: we either take responsibility for thinking 
and for our lives, or, we ask government to protect us. Like it 
or not, we got the latter.

In it's first important vote since the election, Congress 
approved a bill with over 14,000 spending items. The previous 
bill had but 2000! Included in the current one are money for The 
Music Hall of Fame and for DNA testing of bears in Montana.

Senator McCain got it right yesterday when he said to Tim 
Russert: "The system is broken!"

As for hot wire cutters, aside from the mistaken assumptions 
about "auto transformers", I and others in the business of making 
composite parts have been using hot wire cutters to cut cores for 
everything from telescope tubes to aircraft wings for 30 years. 
I've yet to hear of anyone toasting himself. According to my 
helpers the closest anyone has  come to killing himself was when 
they drank a cup of coffee I made. (They don't know about the 
incident where I inhaled MEKP fumes)
