Starch. If you starch your shirts and pants then they're much less
likely to have holes burned in them.

Really? No kidding?

Noted for next washday.

Gunner, wondering how a starched T-shirt is gonna feel.....

Uh, remember that starch is VIAGRA for CLOTH.
Ouch! They'll feel like yer ol' Sunday-go-ta-meetin' clothes.

Instead, the leather apron and sleeving/leggins that HF sells are
great for avoiding burns. (At $7.95, the apron was a steal.)


"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Your Prez is off his leash, dude.

"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is
the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the
champion and vindicator only of her own. She will recommend the
general cause by the countenance of her vice and the benignant
sympathy of her own example. She well knows that by once enlisting
under banners other than her own, were they even the banners of
foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of
extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual
avarice, envy, ambition, which assumed the colors and usurped the
standards of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would
insensibly change from liberty to force....She might become the
dictatress of the world. She would no longer be the ruler of her own
spirit."

--John Quincy Adams, address to the House of Reps on July 4th, 1821

Least Exportable Commodity.")
