<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let me ask you something. Do you have pierced ears,
Ms Kraut?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Probably shouldn't be writing
letters when upset,</FONT></DIV>
