Ok, I spent the last 2 weeks listening to both conventions. I am not a Bush fan, but I really wish we come up with a blend... LOL I like McCain and his track record of bipartisan efforts, his foreign policy experience and I really like his VP choice... I like Obama and his views on domestic policy... the jury is still out on his foreign policy... and I could care less about his VP choice... I guess I am stuck in a lifestyle liberal, politically conservative quandary. I want a SMALL government that will allow me to make my own choices, decisions, and keep away from my money instead of a tax riddled, complex, and less efficient, but I like the idea of not legislating morality... I personally view our dependence on foreign oil as the biggest issue... I really like T.Boone Pickens suggested course of action, but neither of our candidates seem to fully address the whole issue. This is the first election that I have ever dealt with that has me this confused... I have to go rest my shoulder now... this turned out to be a lot longer than I had intended...

I am of German/Irish/Scottish descent. I am working on a tattoo design that will incorporate symbolism for both the Irish and Scottish heritage. I want to blend

Here is another possibility for the thistle blossom...

We are considering going to Scotland/England/Ireland this year. It will be our first trip to Europe. I would like to hear from folks who live in, have gone or want to go to get a broader list of things to see, people to do, events to attend, etc. We are looking at a September 2007 time frame, so obviously this needs to be taken into consideration. No suggestion will be ignored, all will be researched. Thanks in advance!!!
