While good, I'm kind of confused by this one...



The court now seeks further proceedings on whether the allergy would substantially limit a major life activity when active.

Now, I know what they mean.  I do.

But our allergist and I have often had quite a laugh at this logic.

Is "death" a limitation of a "major life activity?"  Or is that just "life" being limited?

(Sorry, just a little dark humor on the subject of something that seems so incredibly, PAINFULLY obvious.  Yes, yet another instance in which it would really, really really be nice if ignorance were incredibly painful to those who suffer from it.  <SIGH>  )

Resistance isn't futile.  It's voltage divided by current.

The new ADAA eliminates the concern about "active."
