<DIV>> "Dearest Alan, <BR>> If it is of =
any
consolation: due to the massive<BR>> quantities of slaughterhouse =
waste in
the U.S., nearly<BR>> EVERYTHING made here has sludge scraped from
the<BR>> killing room floor somehow incorporated into its<BR>>
manufacture! Cheaper than landfilling. <BR>> =
Especially plastics, which contain animal fats to<BR>> keep them from =
becoming brittle."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Glad to see we aren't wasting resources. Recycling is a good =

<DIV><BR>>"Henry Ford ... was a vegetarian, made a car body out
of<BR>> soybean oil! "</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wow. Slick car! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW Henry Ford was also a terribly abusive parent (pretty well =
destroyed Edsel), an abusive employer, a nasty businessman, an =
egomaniac, and,
by all accounts, a world class jerk: Nice role model. Personally, I =
thing that's
what happens when you deny yourself juicy, yummy cheeseburgers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> So you are STILL handling recently
slaughtered<BR>> corpses when you play on plastic keys. </DIV>

<DIV>Yes, I make my keys out of road kill armadillo carapace glued down =
with Hot
Jeckle & Hyde glue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> I don't know about celluloid, though. =
Its
made of<BR>> cotton which is, of course, just pretty white =
flowers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think it is terribly cruel and insensitive of us to exploit =
plants
for our own selfish needs, like food, shelter, and clothing. Don't =
you?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Smile, Thumper, and have the last weird, if you want. I'm through. =
