[Vision2020] Body jewelry

[Jasper Nance]

Let me ask you something. Do you have pierced ears, Ms Kraut?

Would you feel comfortable being helped by someone who may have had a face lift? Breast implants? What about waxing? What about electrolysis? Even wearing high heels? Are these not actions of someone with "questionable sanity" according to your logic? What about all the chronic drinkers/smokers you feel are of sound enough mental state to exchange business with? 

I do not eat meat, I do not smoke, I drink very little, and I would never have plastic surgery. I think that speaks volumes about my mental sanity. 

          Ms Jasper Nance

  I could be because I am uncomfortable having someone help me who no more sense than to do that to himself. Straight or gay does not matter to me, color does not matter to me but someone who has no more respect for his body than to wound it over and over is at the very least questionable sanity.

    I want to know why I can't get a job in this town without removing my facial piercings. I have two small lip rings and a small nose ring. Simple rings, nothing hanging in front of my vision or stabbing people who walk by. 

    I'm quite disturbed after having gone to business after business and being told I might be able to work if I removed my facial jewelry. I feel that this is discrimination, and that its unacceptable. My jewelry does not affect my work performance in any way. I am not lazy or a slacker. I am not a pot head. I am not a punk. I am not mentally insufficient.

    My jewelry is part of a philosophy, and is an artwork. Its the closest thing I have to a religion. I will not change my philosophy because people think its unprofessional, because I believe professionalism lies in conduct, cleanliness, and performance. I take a shower every day. I trimmed my hair last week. Doesn't that make me "clean cut"? Or do I have to be a white Christian straight male to be able to get any sort of professional treatment. 

    Any thoughts?

       Probably shouldn't be writing letters when upset,
                    Ms. Jasper Nance
