FP and others won't (or can't) address the real problem which is that there are a number of people who just want a safe environment in which to work, and there are people hell bent on clinging to their "personal rights" argument who simply don't care. They don't care if that person can't work. They don't care if they must pay a hefty price for medications that give relief. [Is Imitrex ever going to go generic???] They don't care that that person incurs certain health risks as a result of those meds. [Is anyone else besides me holding back a little information from their physician in fear that the Rx won't be re-written?] They don't care if a person has no other means of income. The only thing that's important here is that FP's right to wear his/her favorite fragrance is not infringed upon. Don't you DARE let the ailing person fight for his/her right to work in a non-hostile environment, whether through company policy or by lawsuit. And that person had better not even THINK of going on welfare and costing the taxpayers anything.
There are only two conclusion one can come to when reading FP's rantings:
He/she is unable to think things through to a logical conclusion, orAs a FReeper, I'd prefer it if the first conclusion were the case. As a realist, I fear it's the second one that hits the bullseye.He/she is a jerk.
I’m sorry. Maybe I will believe someday, and maybe you’ll all owe me a much-deserved “toldja so” and maybe it’ll tear me apart to hafta watch a loved one suffer, but until then I’m a multiple-chemical-hypersensitivities skeptic. You believe me to be a heartless jerk, and worse. Feel free do so. And feel free to complain or even litigate over the way we multiple-chemical-hypersensitivities non-believers smell. It’s still a free country, more or less.
” there are a number of people who just want a safe environment in which to work”
“if our personal right to breathe air that doesn’t make us sick”
Hmmm. Safe work environment. Join a Union. I’m sure they will fight for your right to work in a safe environment as long as you pay the Union dues.
Personal right to breathe air that doesn’t make us sick. That’s a new one for me. Didn’t realize we had a personal right to breathe air that doesn’t make us sick.
I have a friend who doesn’t drive, doesn’t and never owned a car, and thinks cars should be banned because they harm the air she breathes. All the exhaust fumes make her sick. It literally, according to her, makes her physically ill. We should ban those next.
Where does it end?
I think we all should be considerate of those around us but where does it end?
