who cares about form, function is paramount. i have no problem with making things 'pretty' but if functionality/sustainability suffers then a penalty should apply... like all these soccer moms i see driving big SUV's that never see off road action. hell, 90% of them probably don't even drive down dirt alleys... they should all get tickets for waste of natural resources. form is just icing on the cake, without the cake the icing has no foundation.

anyways i am glad to see people start to attempt to live sustainably instead of this current method that is popular. here is a "net-zero" house in black river falls, wisconsin. i visited it, it is quite nice and very modern. it looks much better than in the picture now that it has landscaping and a grass yard...

sorry jerry, you are wrong. there won't be a 'next'. i've been to that vietnam... not going back.

for the record i feel that way about every idiot driving a truck because they want to, not because they have a need to... not just soccer moms. trucks should be used for work that require them and nothing else. shuttling rugrats around can be accomplished with a 4 cylinder, no need for a v-8, 10 or 12.

i bet you drive a truck don't you jerry?
