You know, I have been giving this some thought. I understand the point of tar & feathers. Pain, Embarrassment, difficult to remove, make a permanent impression and once administered one would be unlikely to re-offend. However, Tar & Feathers was a product of its time. Those were the materials which would be most likely at hand.
In today's modern world there are many items and products which could serve the same purpose, and in some cases perform them better!
PRODUCT #1
3M(TM) Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive quickly bonds laminates, plastic pieces, polyethylene and polypropylene to various surfaces including themselves. High Strength, Fast Contact-Type Adhesive. Fast Contact Strength Buildup for Many Decorative Laminates. Only Needs 1 Minute of Drying Time. Need 1 can. PRODUCT #2
Jacks set includes 10 goldtone and silvertone metal diecast jacks. (You know..Jacks, those little pointy things the you step on in the middle of the night and wake the whole street up.) Need 20-30 packs. (200-300 jacks)
So, uhhhh, I am in with the newer products vs. the old tar and feathers!!!!
