          So why shouldn't you switch ground?

On 12 Volt systems, I can't tell you the reason, as I don't know.  Although 
there must be one.  All I know it that by convention ( I remember this from 
school, many years ago)  that the hot side of anything should be switched.  
This especially true in 120VAC circuits.  Suppose the switch were off and you 
were working on a device.  Even though the device is off, if you were on the 
live hot line and touched any other ground..... OUCH

Just my $.02 worth
