snip... This is a *BIG* hot button for me, but this is endemic of no longer teaching real Industrial Arts in our public schools. Higher education, from mechanic programs, to engineering programs, to medical programs all suffer from incoming students that have, in too many cases, never even held a tool in their hands..... and in almost all cases, save some rural areas, lack any real experience in using tools or in dealing with the logic required of fixing everyday items that need repair or adjustment..... -- You got that right! When my two sons were in jr high, they had to take homemaking courses half the year and shop the other half. The pc crowd decided that the girls whould have equal time hammering, cutting etc. while the boys learned baking, etc. I don't mind if the girls want to take shop, but don't force the boys to be Suzy Homemaker unless they want to. |

If the homemaking courses were formulated by Emeril Lagasse, I'd be impressed. |

So you figure the women will be the kitchen slave. Not much more pathetic than a guy who has to go to Burger King because he can not cook anything! |

There is a material you can buy at marine stores to separate ss parts from Aluminum but am not sure if this is used on bolts. |

You just can't read can you? Did you know that Homemaking courses teach a lot more than cooking? Do you realize that Don never said anything like "women will be the kitchen slave"? Do you realize that Don never said a man shouldn't know how to cook? |
