all right Scrat we doing a really a really exciting sug tonight um I want to begin now which remember again last week or whatever two weeks ago three weeks no uh was it last week did we had sh we had sh last thank you thank you okay you know what you once you start wearing a butt down shirt then we could go ahead and have these kind of conversations other all right so say so last week we started talking about the of kindling so really what we have to do next is spend a little bit of time on the which means extinguishing but what I want to do tonight is actually begin to so kind of focusing a little bit more on the topic of kindling this leads to a very important and very interesting contemporary issue which is the use of electricity on chabas so let's take a look so this is page 13 remember again we're learning from which is really just a great great set of in general so he writes over here he says so you can see where it says Al and then it says so the prohibition of using electricity right electric lights electric electric Machinery so let's go he says so first we're going to see begins with like a declarative statement and then we're kind of going to pick it apart a little bit afterwards to see if it's accurate or not so the statement he makes is it is in to go ahead and to use electricity right or to go ahead and use anything of electrical nature why because when you use the electricity you're essentially creating a fire you're you're creating some type of fire and therefore again it's going to be us he holds the first statement he makes is the US of electricity is effectively like kindling a fire
