sorry dude - i am happy enough to buy IH gear from the forum, but it is highly unlikely I will ever part with what i have now
. . . as for the ditas - well they've got me into the trouble i'm in . . . refer to our conversation in that thread . . . so i'll only be adding to the range
however - i do agree, we've had a decade or so of cheap consumerism, and i think a lot of folks have learned to figure out what's good and what wants to masquerade as good
so i guess getting back to the topic

My frined sent me this today:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt.

Rap Lyrics:
"If life's a bitch then I'm goin' to fuck it 'till I die
Have her laying on her stomach while she's reaching for the sky
Hitting it so hard leaving marks on her thighs I do my work in the dark before the sunrise"Square One - Can't Mess

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
Helen Keller

One of my favourites:
Face the facts. Then act on them. It's the only mantra I know, the only doctrine I have to offer you, and it's harder than you'd think, because I swear humans seem hardwired to do anything but. Face the facts. Don't pray, don't wish, don't buy into centuries-old dogma and dead rhetoric. Don't give in to your conditioning or your visions or your fucked-up sense of… whatever. FACE THE FACTS. THEN act.
