I feel.. and this is just an opinion of course.. And a not too well educated one at that .. but I try to keep on top of things.

Artificially inflated sense of fear = Publicly Backed War = Bad News.

Artificially inflated Fuel Prices = Publicly backed Drilling = Bad news.

I am starting to see a trend, seems they put us in the shitter.. then offer us a way out.. that favors their agenda.. just seems that way to me. No offense to anyone who served as I have the UTMOST RESPECT for people who lay down their lives for their beliefs. My contempt lies in big business and government in the upper echelons where no one serves or pays the price.

Apparently on June 30th every member of your Congress will be served with a petition for 'redress', which they must respond to under your Constitution. Dennis Kucinich will again present his articles of impeachment of Bush (High Crimes and Misdemeanors). The Democrats have just blocked his attempt in the House, so it will be interesting to see what happens on the 30th.

Hey Whisker,

I was an architect before waking up to IM. It's not so much than an architect is reluctant to design with solar in mind.. It's that they have no clue how to make money doing it outside of so cal, arizona, and nevada. The power demand charge is about 4xs what it is on the east coast.

You'll also find that most residential only firms are hacks that keep designing the same shit over and over.. That's why we have the term "McMantion."

lastly, architecture edu is a joke... The industry is weird.. You have to go to school for 5 years to get your first degree, 3.5 for a masters in it.. Yet when you graduate, you get no job offer over 32k and then cannot be licensed for 3-5 years after that. Oh, and they teach nothing but theory, not actual building buildings...

Sorry for the slightly off topic rant... Just remembered why I hate architecture and also why I hate my $500/mo student loan payment.

I ALMOST went to school by me for Gaming Design, I am part American Indian and so I qualify for the full loan pkg. It was 85k for the full courses to end with bachelors in computer science and business. I don't even wanna know what the student loans would have been but I later found out the whole thing was bullshit. Well you get the degree's but there accredited AND this "School" said their after graduation employment rates in the "Entertainment and Gaming Industry" were 88%-95%.. Little did we know they were counting employees working in Game Stop, Record World And Toys R Us. In the Industry meant selling "Industry Items" Even at the retail level. :P

Moral : Fully investigate A field before Pursuing a Career.. NO JUMPING IN HEAD FIRST.

Sorry to de-rail it just reminded me, and I get a bit pissed :P
