But when a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or count himself lost. … All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.   H.L. Mencken

That they had two-cylinder, two-stroke engines and very basic transmissions, and fiber-board bodies is, perhaps, why they actually did last for years, and years.

Somekind of advertising bull. I have seen lots of computer speakers rated for 100 watts or more and inside the box is a 2 watt or less speaker.   It is sort of like a radar pulse where for a microsecond you pulse out thousands of watts, but the average on the tube is about 5 watts.   Think of it as a capacitor discharging. It will dump almost the whole load in a microsecond. Same as some newer batteries like in the emergency car starters that fit in a glove compartment. They will dump out a few hundred amps for about 3 seconds to get the car engine to rotate once or twice to get you started.

Where I worked there were many things that had a tendency to stick. WE could hit it with something and it would work from weeks to months. If we repaired or replaced it, it would still last a few weeks to months.   I am sure most everyone has heard the story where a company hired someone from outside to repair something. The fellow walks up and hits it with a hammer. Sends in bill . The company wants it it itemize. It comes back, hit with hammer, $ 2.00, knowing where to hit it, $ 500.00.
