Comments on: Peanut Allergy Disability and a Can of Worms http://www.nonuttin.com/blog/archives/248 The View From Within Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:48:02 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Rachel http://www.nonuttin.com/blog/archives/248#comment-80 Rachel Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:36:41 +0000 http://www.nonuttin.com/blog/?p=248#comment-80 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was dismayed and disappointed at the comments to the Globe and Mail article, to the point where I just didn't know how to respond or if a response was even worth it. I felt that these comments were mean and abusive, and clearly the people making them were not educated about the issues and didn't want to educate themselves. It amazes me how much intolerance we still have in this world - and to think this intolerance is over such things that really do not create a major hardship for the vast majority, but create a life-threatening situation for some. Why wouldn't people want to make this world a safer place? I just don't get it. I understand the disappointment felt by those in the allergic community that only nuts was dealt with in this ruling, but I am learning baby steps are very important. It is too bad that we even have such negativity within the allergic community as well. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
