.....If we model AC this way, then you take
one ball at the near end and alternately push it in and
somehow suck it out AT THAT END. And at the far
end, we have a ball which is behaving in exactly the same
way, alternately popping out and being sucked back in.....

Which raises ethical questions about the behaviour of the
power companies! 50 times per second (60 in Yankland)
they give you some electrons with the right hand and then
take them back with the left hand.

As you ain't allowed to keep them, and they are only on loan
for such a brief period, then it seems morally wrong for them
to charge you for the privilege!
