If you have incisors then you are a meat eater. Enough of all this. If all of those vegans would knock down their McMansons and allow more free range animals the space for me to hunt like Ted Nugent you wouldn't have a pulpit.Stop wasting my ozone with your wasteful propaganda and move on to more important things like getting food for the hungry and shelter for the homeless.

Disability Law Provides Employment Protections

AbilityOne Program Continues to Create Jobs for People with Severe Disabilities (ARA) – Despite federal anti-discrimination laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act, it’s still difficult for people with disabilities to find work. In fact, 62 percent of adult Americans with disabilities are unemployed, according to a recent report by Cornell University.
In September, Congress passed legislation significantly strengthening employment protections for people with disabilities, in keeping with the intent of the ADA, enacted in 1990. Passage of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 resulted from two years of landmark cooperation between business groups and disability rights organizations.
Yet federal protections and the cooperation of corporate America are only a step in the right direction toward ensuring meaningful employment for people with disabilities. “People with disabilities are not keeping pace in this economy and are much more likely to live in poverty,” says Andrew Houtenville, an author and researcher affiliated with Cornell.

Employee Votes Count When it Comes to Selecting Office Chairs (ARA) - The election is over, but in offices across the country, people will continue talking about the early days of an historic presidency. Discussions will be lively, but when all is said and done, and history has been written, another debate will continue in the American workplace, one that centers around a pressing matter of national comfort – office seating.
The burning question isn’t necessarily who has the best view or the biggest office space. It’s all about who has the most comfortable chair.
What is it about chairs?
Case in point: On the online message board EA Forum’s Business Beat, which touts itself as the “water cooler conversation without leaving your desk,” a thread on office politics and furniture included close to 200 messages. Many of these posts focused on the humble -- or not-so-humble -- office chair.
“What is it about chairs?” one poster laments, explaining that when her particular office was undergoing renovations, company decision-makers ordered and assigned furniture based on a task-based flow chart and gave all managers executive chairs.
