  1. Great points Seth! Why aren't there people like you running for office? I mean, far be it, that we actually elect a responsible, straight forward thinking candidate....

    Because I'm not rich. We need an overhaul in this country, we've been led too long by the top 5%. They are out of touch. America's politicians should be hard-working middle class people, not billionaires who live in a whole other world.

    El Busheroo wants to drill for more oil, does anyone believe it will get cheaper? The folks at the top want to drill so they can squeeze some more money out of the ground. If its going for 100+ dollars a barrel and rising is there any reason to believe price will go down when demand is up on a dwindling supply? Oil production has been in plateau to demand for about 5 years now. Pushing production might prolong the plateau but it won't drive production up in comparison to demand. Major change has to come sooner or later and it will need to happen from the top down.

  2. I'd soften the swoop a little on the part closest to the neck closure if you go by that pattern. Nice one, I think it was done by a member here a couple of years ago. I know I have it somewhere on a back-up CD, but couldn't for the life of me find it the last time I looked.

    I might eventually release the pattern I came up with, if I had the means to digitize it as a correctly scaled jpeg.

  3. Hooray for discourse! I think more drilling is a band-aid solution. Nuclear power is a disaster. After just a few decades the salt-mines that were supposed to contain the waste for tens of thousands of years are seeping. As for disasters, the mighty sarcophagus that was supposed to seal off Chernobyl forever is falling apart, only 20 years on. Its time for us to check our energy consumption at every corner and work on technologies to reduce it further. I fear that won't happen though, as it wouldn't be profitable for the companies that line the pockets of our politicians. Why work to reduce our oil dependence when you can rake in $103 a barrel for crude?

  4. To answer the above; 2008, here's hoping.

    I can list out, but it won't be for a few days, I need to go back through paypal and cull out the names, as I lost the paper list I had from almost a year ago.

    I won't have any extras, unfortunately. The design belongs to the detachment, so it could wind up being used again in the future I suppose.

    For the record, never buy anything from costumecostumecostume.com aka J Kerezman ever.

  5. Americans need to start living differently, bottom line. We've got 200+ years of a "wide open spaces" attitude coupled with the idea that we are somehow top dog and could care less about the long term ramifications of our actions. In typical fashion we just now start talking about things that forward-thinking people were talking about in the 1960's. Maybe if we had changed our lifestyles over the course of a few decades rather than ignoring the problems we wouldn't be facing such a crunch in the coming years.
