autozen,

Your friend telling you to stay away from rebuilt compressor is offering generally very good advice, generally. There are exceptions, however, and the York is an exception. Yes they can break rods and all sorts of things. Nothing can last forever. They do, however, if applied properly hold up well.

Also, due to the way they're built, when they fail they typically don't contaminate the system as do most others.

As far as giving up personal freedom goes, in case you haven't noticed we are currently involved in a war on terror. The "freedoms" that have been "given up" will not effect the law abiding American. We MUST allow the government to have the leeway they need to try to fight the war on terror.

If you want to talk about giving up freedom, do a little reading about Hitler and the Third Reich. Now, THAT was giving up freedom.

I'm with Greg, getting rid of a terrible dictator that had women raped in front of their husbands and all the other terrible atrocities that he put on all those people, is NOT a bad thing.

Have you noticed that since the war on terror started we have not again been attacked in this country? Is that a bad thing?

Have a great day,
