I told a friend last year I think she drinks too much. Her life was spiralling downhill, everyone was watching it, and everyone was too nice to say anything. She called me an asshole, and then started a conversation with her husband which lead to her quitting drinking. She still hates me, and I'm good with that, and the people around her have a better life.

I questioned why distillation takes so much energy, and invented a small scale continuous distillation method for ethanol. Someday it may change how much it costs to make ethanol.

I question why commuter vehicles can't get 75 mpg on gasoline, and I'm BUILDING a car to do it.

I question why Kammback can't be put on a receiver hitch on the back of an SUV, and I'm BUILDING one.

I questioned why people died in the backwoods of central Idaho, and I created a system to more effectively search for them, saving lives.

I questioned why county commissioners were siphoning off money to relatives, and implemented changes, pissing off people.

I question why things are done the way they are done.

I get booted from a lot of sites, and I'm not the guy you want to invite to a party if you are skimming funds.

But if you want a new way to do things, or you want to actually CHANGE the way things are done, or you want a better widget, then perhaps we can work together to make the world a better place.
