( in response to your posts about the new idle speed proposal)human nature has not changed all that much,.... from the stories as told by western writers like Louis L'mour and the western movies that were made from those stories. You remember the story line............peaceful little town in the wild wild west with people living the good life, no problems, not many laws and no need for a marshall. Bad Boys come to town shooting up the stores, drinking up the liquor, roughing up the store keepers and leering at the ladies. Town leaders decide to elect a marshall to protect the citizens and their property, pass a few laws and turn the hard work over to the new marshall...........Bad Boys don't like this 'cause it will hinder them having fun like they always have, so they decide to challenge the new lawman. Lawman, usually with the help of only one or two trusted deputies chooses to first ask for compliance from the Bad Boys............but they will have none of that..........so the lawman is forced to shoot it up and run them out of town. This brings on a long protracted war between the Bad Boys and their friends, and the marshall and his few supporters usually wins at the end of the day............however , once this is cleaned up, the weak kneed town council gets to thinking the marshall went too far in the enforcement of their new rules, and now wants the lawman to back off and not be too harsh because it's hurting the gambling/bar business.............The story usually ends one of two ways........A) the marshall wins the pretty girl and stays around for the good life, or B) marshall cleans up the town, but, is disliked by everyone because he had to take extreme measures, so he resigns and moves on to another town and leaves the good citizens to deal with the next crisis when it comes along...................... :~}
