No shortage of opinions in the world, but I am not going to let that stop me.

Self-employed since 1993, I am a glassblower. I have had little to do with politics for a little over 20 years now, but I was active in my younger years. I was a delegate back when we elected Larry Grossman leader of the Ontario Conservatives back in 1985.

It's rude to ask someone about their salary.  :evillaugh:

Anything from marbles and beads to walking canes and wine glasses. Glass chainmail is what I am most known for in the glassblowing community.

Does it hold up well?

First time I've ever heard of glass chainmail.  Welcome to ConservativeCave.

Wow. Those are seriously impressive. I'd love to have some artistic talent, but sadly it passed me by.

I didn't start with talent, I developed it over the years. I would argue you chose to pass it by, and not the other way around. None the less, thanks for the compliment.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

That is where I got my start, but these days they are coming over from India and China, and I can't compete with third world wages. Shifter knobs have been one of my best sellers lately.
