US Passports putting pages in for visas

I was recently at thw US embassy in Phnom Penh to get pages put into my passport and I was told that the next time that I would not get more pages put in as they are limiting it to two sets.

Today I am talking to a friend who knows allot about US visas and passports and he tells me that in Bangkok that they will put more than 2 sets in for you that he has like 6 sets all ready he says the reason for Cambodia US embassy is that this is something they can determine and do locally. This is real BS as you are with out your passport for 2 weeks and it costs $100 of course these people are making big money sucking the public tit so $100 is a drop in the hat for them and they probably don't pay for their passports anyway as they work for Dept of State.

So if you are in the embassy in Phnom Penh and they tell you that ask to see where it is written down and kindly remind them that ultimately that you are their boss and quit wasting taxpayers money.

If you need more pages go to the Bangkok Thailand US Embassy on I believe telegraph rd just off of Suhkumvitt and Limpini Park

Alt energy Making Green my favorite color!

I have allways wanted to see Alt energy succeed so that we can move away from the dirty fuelthat we use today.. doing this I think would also go along way towards reducing wars and global warming.I really fell that the next major Paradyme will be a breakthrough in alt energy that will be like computers start out expensive and slow and become more useful and cheaper as time goes on.

recently i have become interested in Geo Thermal which seems to be all upside with no downside as it is a closed system with the exception of the electricty delivered by the heat exchage via turbines.

Solar has allways show potential and with oil at all most $100 a barrel its time will be coming soon the major hurdle here is silcon itself made from sand which is very abundant but very expensive to process i really feel that someone will figure out a different and cheaper way to get good efficiency from the sun to make it practical.
