I don't want to turn this into A Milwaukee thread.
I think 6ixstringjack has a good idea and I would like to think we could do something positive with it.
In other words showing our gratitude for all those people who stand in harms way.
The people who risk their lives to protect ours.
Maybe a simple thread that just says "Thank You", to these wonderful people.
There are so many people who give without asking for anything in return. I just would like to thank them.
Could we create something like that?

Um wow, well, thank you!
I can't really think of anything (I am at work and braindead and don't have my precious, precious photoshop here...) But I'll see what I can do. I'm all about freedom of speech, freedom of music, that kind of thing. Have to say, though, I am also all about artists getting paid for their art. I think there is a fine line to be walked. But I'll be happy to try designing something if anyone has any ideas.

Though as a veteran I appreciate your sentiment Traveller, that post was really uncalled for. Being anti-control doesn't mean being anti-cop. Having police and soldiers risking themselves for us everyday and some corporation abusing a skewed legal system to protect their interest under the guise of caring about the little guys is something else. I sweat, bled and cried so you could have the freedom to think like that and post it here. But I also did it in the hope that people would be able to see what was right in front of them and not jump to some illogical conclusion based on some variable that God only knows, because I, for one, sure as hell didn't see it in that post.
You villianise Jack for that post and obviously missed his point entirely. And you want to talk symbols, take a good look at the Red, White and Blue. It was a symbol created by a bunch of men who had had enough of being on the short end of the stick, kinda like our good friends the Browncoats. So Traveller, this is obviously not a place for you, so if your name implies your occupation, I suggest you keep on walking.

Well, I made that last post before my dial-up had a chance to load the whole page, so I thought it ended at your first one, Traveller, but my point still stands (though my tone would have been softer). And as someone who has been there, I do thank you for your sentiment for those who serve.
Also, Milwaukee isn't that bad, I live in New Berlin about 5 minutes outside of downtown. You may all be a bunch of cheese-head, alcoholic, Packer fans (sorry, I'm a Chicago native and i couldn't help it 
), but it's a much safer city than Chicago or New York. I like it there, I'm not walking around with a perpetual fear of getting stabbed.
And Phoenix, I was just going to set the store up for cost (so people would only pay what the site charged for the stuff) but it wouldn't be hard to charge like a dollar or so more a shirt or hat so you get what's coming to you for the work. If you're interested, let me know, and we can set that up.

When you were describing the city, my first thought was Milwaukee, but that's because I grew up in GB and go to school in Madison. And I've had 2 friends violently assaulted there this year.

Hello Sassalicious:
I know larger cities will have more crime, but Milwaukee does seem to have a large share considering how small it is. But I know our police department really tries to fight it. I would like them to increase the size of our police force, but I don't think the money is there.
I have had friends hurt here as well.
For myself I have lived here a long time and I will probably never leave.
