The crystals will keep until next time I need them, and the scotch in me doesn't like to waste stuff, so I do it my way. There's nothing wrong with your way either. And if somebody wants to work in protective clothing, where I apply OA while wearing just my bermuda shorts, that's okay, too. It's really just not worth arguing about. (I haven't seen anything from the original poster: wonder if we scared him off?) I wouldn't blame him. He may think he started the **** that soon showed up in what should have been a pretty mundane thread! It must be wonderful to go through life as a mindless conservative, not at all concerned about the world, about the damage one does, about those who are less fortunate, and so secure in our "whiteness" that we can make either direct or indirect disparaging remarks from time to time about people of color. You're a real piece of crap, Herring. And not too literate, either. -- Jesus was the ultimate liberal progressive revolutionary of all history. The conservative religious and social structure that he defied hated and crucified him. They examined His life and did not like what they saw. He aligned himself with the poor and the oppressed. He challenged the religious orthodoxy of his day. He advocated pacifism and loving our enemies. He liberated women and minorities from oppression. He healed on the Sabbath and forgave adulterers and prostitutes. He associated with drunks and other social outcasts. He rebuked the religious right of his day because they embraced the letter of the law instead of the Spirit. He loved sinners and called them to himself. Jesus was the original Liberal. He was a progressive, and he was judged and hated for it. It was the self-righteous religionists that he rebuked and he called them hypocrites. The primary issues of Christian Liberalism were birthed when Jesus spoke the profoundly prophetic words found in Matthew 25: 31-46. These scriptures reveal God's heart for the poor, the sick and other neglected people through out history. Christians should read this text and judge for themselves which of the two groups mentioned there more accurately reflect the political parties of today. His Liberalism lives on today and the issues have not changed much. |

don't con fuze de idgits withen dem facts, Joe. theys gits demselfs panties
ins a twist dat way. From: "Joe Blizzard" Date: 10/21/2004 10:56 AM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: "basskisser" wrote Anyone who is stupid enough to use oxalic acid without eye protection, even after being warned not to, perhaps needs to find out why he was warned. We could argue this until the end of time, but like I tried to say back up the thread somewhere, I don't use protective gear with OA, but I'm not saying nobody should. If you prefer to play it safe, by all means do so. I have no intention of arguing against safety. Here is a statement from a source for buying Oxalic acid: Here's the MSDS for the product I use: http://www.savogran.com/Information/Wood_Bleach_MS.pdf About halfway down it lists the health risks. Short contact with skin appears to be safe, but prolonged exposure can give you anything from irritation to burns. Eye contact will give you severe irritation and "may cause transient injury to the cornea," whatever that means. Anybody using OA should take appropriate precautions to avoid those last couple things because even a mild or transient injury is still not something you ought to shoot for. What's appropriate in the precaution department is really what we're all disagreeing about and I kind of see it as being up to the individual to decide what constitutes an acceptable level of safety. My idea of taking appropriate precautions is to avoid squirting the stuff on myself. Yours may be to add the extra insurance of goggles and gloves. Somebody more cautious might prefer to avoid using OA altogether. Maybe I'm too complacent, but I see similar warnings on lighter fluid and super glue and I don't use goggles or gloves with those, either. Maybe I'll be sorry some day. If you don't want to be like me, by all means do what you think is best. |
