Support Good People with Your Holiday Shopping: "Every time you buy something, you vote with your wallet.

Just like this election has shown, the ruthless ones, the ones that don’t care about anything other than full pockets, are the ones that usually win." - Tina Roth Eisenberg Use Lego Technic for all your rope braiding needs (SLYT)
