I was going to let this go by. But, somehow I'm drawn to make a statement. I agee with Michael... God loves you and so do I, Marvin. But, I can't agree with you. I have used turpentine all of my life. I've washed my hands and tools in it. Toxic!?! No. Some people are allergic to turpentine and have violent reactions to it. But, poisonous. Who drinks it? Who bathes in it? Who snorts it? As long as we don't eat and smoke in an enclosed area where turpentine is present and as long as we wash after its use and handle it with respect, I see no harm in its use. To run around yelling "the sky is falling", is not helping our society. There is harmfulness in everything that we touch, breath and ingest. To ignor their presence and use would cause us all to starve and die. Know your tools. Test and experiment on your own to get that knowledge. Don't ignor what you read and hear. But, also, don't accept everything that is claimed as the truth. I suggest that you adapt the Missouri principle of "Show me."
