This peta thing seems to be just another one of those common pustules of
mankind that none of us with a "right mind" feel very comfortable about.
Sadly, such organizations have been around, in one way or the other, for a
long time. They won't go away. I am of the opinion that none, if very few,
of these organizations have an altruistic bone in their bodies rather it is
bottom line only or someone is feeling very powerful.....drama sells.

I thought it was tough growing up when I did. With the new information age,
the children now must add one more skill to their up bringing,, discernment.
The big evil when I was growing up was was "duck and cover", rock and roll
and hot rods. This type of organization is insidious and psychologically
abusive to all who come in contact with it.

When I first glanced at the site, it looked harmless enough. Apparently
looks are quite deceiving.

I really didn't want to ge tinto this either but I did check out the
website a little yesterday...once I read about their "Your Mommy Kills
Animals" tactics, that told me enough. You just don't turn kids against
their
parents like that. The literature they hand out must be tramatic enough
for little kids to look at, let alone using it to make mommy look like a
bad guy....It's just plain cruel.

Back to clarinets....aren't the pads made of animal products???
Egads.
