I just know that today’s article is going to start a proverbial “shit” storm (pun intended).<\/p>\n

Last week, our legislatures here in the Old Dominion (Virginia) thought they’d try to run some legislation through (read the story<\/a>). We had much discussion of it around work, and as usually happens, the rumor mill got it wrong. Read the law<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

I thought (initially) that they were attempting to mandate that a person HAD to be handicapped to use the handicapped stall in the restrooms.\u00a0 Well, this really got my dander up, because quite frankly; I enjoy using the handicapped stall. Somebody usually has put a paper in there to read, it is quite comfortable and not as confined as the other “coach” class stalls.\u00a0 I would have been looking forward to some rather hefty fines from the crapper police; so I was pleased to find out today that I was wrong.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the bill is for handicapped people to be allowed (by law) to use restrooms in businesses; that ordinarily don’t have public access restrooms.\u00a0 My personal belief is similar to the article’s author (Ms. Dougherty).\u00a0 It should be left up to the business to allow a person to use their facilities.\u00a0 The government doesn’t need to get involved in the Bowell movements of the general public.\u00a0 Now Ms. Dougherty was slammed by quite a few people in her article, and quite frankly, my bladder gets irritated by many of these callous people.<\/p>\n

Because of my obvious facination with crappers (see this<\/a>), I feel compelled to defend the author.\u00a0 For the record, I do not have\u00a0Crohn’s Disease.\u00a0 But I do know people with IBS, cancer and folks that have to carry a Ostomy bag.\u00a0 I cannot recount one time when we couldn’t make it where we needed to go in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry if I sound a little harsh.\u00a0 But I do not want to be told where I can (and cannot) take a crap, or for that matter, who I have to allow to use my facilities.\u00a0 For those with Crohn’s disease and other bowell issues, I’m sure it is difficult.\u00a0 But it seems, as a society, many people are in this “my situation is worse than your situation” mentality.\u00a0 That is a bunch of crap (pun not intended).\u00a0 Our government cannot (nor should it) provide for every single aspect of our life.<\/p>\n

Be safe out there.\u00a0 I look forward to the discussion….let the s**t hit the fan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
