Allegorical musings. (For you old dudes and wannabe old dudes.)
What the tarnations is this?! Users of the old tiller now have to conform (forced by the manufacturer) to this steering wheel. What could be more intuitive than a handle you can swing left and right? Every sailor knows all about it. A wheel? Please, NO!

Now, these carmakers have forced upon us an ignition switch inside the car. Nothing was easier to use, or figure out, than the handcrank on the front of the car. I supposed my wife will now simply push this button and what, DRIVE the car herself?!

Steering wheels, ignition switches? This is merely change for change's sake. This is Henry Ford's attempt at making all our lives miserable. Just miserable. Maybe Mr. Ford will make a Model U and bring back the tiller and crank or I can't see his company last that much longer.

PS: I was going to do that "M$" thing but there's no "s" in Ford. Or Henry.
