Hostility is not very becoming.

I am so sorry my 8 years here is too little for you. I bow down to your extra 2 years.

Your FreeRepublic About Page has this as its headline:

“The government that can do everything for you is the same government that can do anything to you.”
____________________________________________________

So let me get this straight.
You want the government, or court system or employer to step in and “do something” for you which will take away some other person’s right to smell the way they want.

And if they do do this for you, it just might mean that it will continue us down the slippery slope we are already on.
So it might mean the government then “can do anything to you.”

Sounds like either you believe the government should be our caretakers or you believe something which contradicts your About Page headline.

Think about it.

Then why do you insist on exhibiting it?

No, it's not want I want. I hate that people are so in love with their "right" to wear fragrances that they threaten someone else's ability to be gainfully employed. What I want is to be able to work in an environment that doesn't make me sick. Working is my only means of support, so you will have to excuse the fact that I get passionate when my ability to work is threatened. I frankly don't care what you or any of my co-workers smell like after hours. Just let me get a full day's work in, and I'll go home and get out of everybody's way.

Let me explain it to you this way. If I don't work, my only option is to go on the dole. I never aspired to be a welfare recipient, so if getting a court to decree or a government law to demand that an employer must make reasonable accommodations to provide a non-hostile workplace, then I'll have to settle for that.

Since you have stated time and again that you will wear what you want when you want where you want knowing full well the effect it could have on another, what do you think the solution should be if not a court or government?
