We claim as our invention: 1. A ground lug, comprising: a collar forming a receptacle to receive a wire, the collar including a first aperture for receiving a screw in an upper surface of the collar; a second aperture configured on a first side surface of the collar to receive the wire; a tab extending from the collar, the tab including a third aperture to receive a mechanical fastener to secure the ground lug; a fourth aperture configured on a second side of the collar to receive the wire; and the receptacle forming a first opening to receive the wire and forming a second opening to receive the wire, wherein the wire may be inserted into any one of: the second aperture, the fourth aperture, the first opening or the second opening to be secured by a screw in the first aperture, wherein the tab is constructed separately from the collar, and the tab includes a tongue for extending into and being secured within the receptacle by tightening the screw. 2. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the mechanical fastener comprises a screw located within the first aperture for securing a wire within the receptacle when the screw is tightened and driven towards a lower surface of the collar. 3. The ground lug of claim 2, wherein the screw is a machine screw. 4. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the tab is formed out of a lower surface of the collar. 5. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the tab extends from a lower surface of the collar. 6. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the third aperture within the tab is located in a plain below the plane of a lower surface of the collar. 7. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the third aperture is threaded for receiving a screw. 8. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the upper surface of the collar is formed to create a throat which extends above a plane created by the upper surface of the collar, and the throat includes the first aperture for receiving a screw. 9. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the first aperture is threaded for receiving a screw. 10. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the wire is an electrical wire or a ground wire. 11. The ground lug of claim 1, wherein the second aperture and fourth aperture are configured to receive the wire perpendicular to the tab extending from the collar. 12. An electrical fastener for receiving an electrical wire from multiple directions to be secured within the electrical fastener, said electrical fastening comprising: a collar forming a receptacle to receive a wire, said collar including a first aperture to receive a mechanical fastener in an upper surface of the collar, and second and third apertures on first and second side surfaces, respectively, of the collar for receiving the wire within the receptacle; the receptacle forming a first opening and a second opening, the openings configured to receive the wire; the mechanical fastener located within the first aperture for securing a wire within the receptacle when the mechanical fastener is tightened and driven towards a lower surface of the collar; and a tab extending from the collar, the tab including a forth aperture for receiving a second mechanical fastener to mount the electrical fastener, wherein the tab and the collar are formed from separate components, and the tab includes a tongue which extends into and is secured within the receptacle by tightening the mechanical fastener. 13. The electrical fastener of claim 12, wherein the first aperture is threaded for receiving the mechanical fastener. 14. The electrical fastener of claim 12, wherein the electrical fastener is constructed of electrically conductive material. 15. The electrical fastener of claim 12, wherein the tab and the collar are formed from a single component. 16. The electrical fastener of claim 12, wherein the collar and tab are constructed of copper. 17. The electrical fastener of claim 12, wherein the upper surface of the collar is formed to create a throat which extends above a plane created by the upper surface of the collar, and the throat includes the first aperture for receiving the screw. 18. The electrical fastener claim 12, wherein the wire is an electrical wire or a ground wire. 19. A ground lug, comprising: a collar forming a receptacle to receive an electrical wire, said collar including first and second apertures on first and second side surfaces, respectively, of the collar to receive an electrical wire in a direction perpendicular to an opening of the collar; the receptacle configured to have a first opening and a second opening, each opening to receive an electrical wire; a fastener to secure a wire within the receptacle of the collar; and a tab extending from the collar to mount the ground lug, wherein the tab is constructed separately from the collar, and the tab includes a tongue for extending into and being secured within the receptacle by tightening the fastener. 20. The ground lug of claim 19, wherein the tab includes an aperture for receiving a screw to mount the ground lug to an electrical device. 21. A ground lug, comprising: means for receiving a wire from any of four directions into the ground lug so that each of the four directions is oriented perpendicular to another one of the four directions; and means for securing the receiving means to an electrical apparatus or structure, wherein the means for securing is constructed separately from the means for receiving and the means for securing extends into the means for receiving and is secured within the means for receiving by tightening a fastener in the means for securing. 22. The ground lug of claim 21, wherein the wire is an electrical wire or a ground wire.
