guh. i can't stand touchy-feely vegans. what happened to all of the sensible vegans?
lousy wife-swap types. if its about being sustainable, then i'm right. buy the leather if you're going to use it well. wear the wool if you're going to use it every day.
if you're going to be identified by what you buy (and you are) then you need to consider, is buying a hand-made leather saddle that will likely be the last one i ever buy a better choice? or should i go with the mass-produced, mold-constructed, plastic piece of crap that i'll have to replace in a year or two?
i'm going to stop now, before i really get rolling.
