"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father

Originally Posted by Lasher Blades are better sharpened the old-fashioned way, by hand; grinders can overheat the steel and ruin it forever.
