"The technology exists for far greater customization but the profit margin would be lower so no one has done it." CafePress, Zazzle, Shapeways, etc. I'll agree

"The technology exists for far greater customization but the profit margin would be lower so no one has done it." CafePress, Zazzle, Shapeways, etc. I'll agree that it isn't as wide-spread as you might have expected from the prediction, but per-order production does exist. Also, Howard Dean and Ron Paul HAVE actual power. Sure, they aren't the president, but to imply that governors, senators and congresspersons don't have any "REAL" power undersells both the positions and the work involved.
