Hello!

The Squirrel Skin Slippers have a great new EP to soothe your skull and to put a large grin onto your mandables!!

Available in 10inch vinyl (for the ageing Fonzies), CD (for not-so ageing rockers), and iTunes (for the youngsters).

Buy a copy, tune in, relax, then put your hip out of joint while throwing drunken dance moves on your front porch to our Stomp'n'Roll Blues...

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

Economic Crisis!

Drug War spending so far 2009:

$5,444,450,000+ Federal Level Spending
$8,357,248,000+ State Level Spending

This is more than $13,801,750,000+ total

501,218 people have been arrested for drug law offenses this year.

237,578 of them just for Cannabis.

(Thanks to http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm )


Maybe you don't think this is a big deal-I mean the economy is in turmoil, people
are losing money, times are hard, right?

Well, Privatized prisons are doing just fine. See how Corrections Corporation of America (the largest private prion corporation) saw a profit increase of over 13% in 2008.


if your interested look at http://investor.shareholder.com/cxw/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=364305

Please take the time to educate yourself, your family, your friends. The life you save could be yours or theirs.


It's my body, right? Wouldn't it be better to spend a fraction of this money on education and treatment, than to lock
good people away in cages for crimes against themselves?

To my fellow warriors Eternal Thanks!
