unfortunately for me it's hard to get excited over any prints knowing they are practically impossible to get (on the first day) that is. I haven't seen the sales screen since Peace Goddess.

I know terrorists gave their lives just like the victimes, but to side with them? That's low. If it's commemorating the victims who died, I can get on board with that--just not terrorists.

What does everyone think?

Are you saying there's an implied connection?

people are rusty with their Lebowski:

Walter Sobchak: Those rich frankfurter! This whole frankfurter thing... I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this frankfurter strumpet...

The Dude: I don't see any connection to Vietnam, Walter.

Walter Sobchak: Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.

The Dude: Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.

What's this day of rest garbage? What's this bullgarbage? I don't frankfurter' care! It don't matter to Jesus. But you're not foolin' me, man. You might fool the frankfurter in the league office, but you don't fool Jesus. This bush league psyche-out stuff. Laughable, man - ha ha! I would have frankfurter you in the buttocks Saturday. I frankfurter you in the buttocks next Wednesday instead. Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!

Anyway, I think it's just a twist on the old saying. The saying usually means something is awesome, "to die for." But here I think we're suppose to take the message quite literally, that the skies (or the environment in general) is worth fighting for, and even dying for. It's durn near a call to arms!

Strike TWO. It's not at all telling us that the skies are worth fighting and dying for--it's suggesting that pollutants will kill both us and the environment. "These sunsets are to die for," is meant in the literal sense that the pollution kills.

I once knew a guy exactly like you, but he died in a not-so-tragic boating accident.
