Re: [rp-ml] STL File

Hah, hah, OK, but have you read or seen "The Road" - that's were this kind of thinking can take you, if you go too far with it.

"I think I will print the bomber and burn it in effigy, just to show I can" - Ramiro, you can do just about anything you want in America, but there are a LOT of things much more representative of America and Americans than what you seem to focus on below.

G.S.

P.S. What's a "legal American company" as opposed to an "illegal American company" anyway? And, what's an "American made RP machine" (or car) anyway? Aren't most of the parts, (chips, motors, magnets, some assembly and maybe even the software) made somewhere else? Sorry, but I don't think you'll be too happy living (with the rest of us) in the 21st century!

(Sung to the tune "What's more American")
What's more American than porn, drugs, and war...
