Re: OT: Mojave Green

Have you ever used hide glue?<

Yes,<<<<

So it's ok to kill an animal, turn it into glue, then use it to build a
Thames guitar? What happened to your "sensitivity to the Cosmos"? Why do you
use hide glue if you are for protecting animals? I would think that someone
who is against cruelty to animals would stand up for protecting animals and
discourage the use of hide glue. By using hide glue aren't you endorsing the
killing of animals so you can have glue for your guitars? Why not use
another adhesive if you really want to practice what you preach?

but my first thoughts upon seeing a sentient being were not, lets
get out the side arm and blow this thing away in it's natural
habitat.<<<<

Neither was mine. Paul said he had a rattlesnake in the common area where
the condos are were he lives. If you read my post I said "I hope you had
your side arm at the ready." That is a defensive NOT offensive posture. I
never said go and kill it.
