The whole Gibson wood debacle is a travesty of justice from beginning to end. If I were king for a day everyone involved, from top to bottom, would be fired.
Many have by heavy handed laws, rules and regulations in effect driving them out of the country so that they can manufacture their goods in other places with less restrictive “green” laws.
This "green"bullshit just gives me more excuse to not feel guilty about stringing up hippies, granola’s, and earthfirsters by their nappy assed dreads.
i dont think this was about being green. I heard Gibson was using wood from India due to acoustic properties of that wood instead of the local Oregon wood. Local unions apparently didnt like that and sicked their federal dogs on Gibson. Then the Feds claim they were enforcing Indian law. WTF do we care what Indian laws are.
