#1 Made to hear that album in the graphic some 40 hours a week? Yeah, that might legally qualify as torture. Spending the Yuletide season around caroling and holiday displays doesn't count as same.

You want the sort of caroling that would really hack me off? That would be some sucker thinking it's his right to scream his religious chants throughout my neighborhood five times a day every day. Not a few weeks a year, every bloody single day. Now we're talking lawsuit time.

This "vulnerability" bullshit is the latest version of "enabling" behavior-type crapulence that touchy-feely people are so fond of instead of ever recognizing the importance of taking personal responsibility.

I just spent the other Saturday evening at a holiday party playing Christmas carols all night on flute and saxamaphone. We've done this same thing for the past TWENTY years. Did it make me "vulnerable" to anything except having a good time with old friends? I'll let you guess.

This sort of crap has got to end.

#4 "What we're saying is that, if Christmas carols are being played on the same CD repeatedly, that could create an unhealthy working environment.

Good lord. Can't the union buy a second CD and give it to store management as a Christmas present? Or burn a bootleg copy on the computer -- blank CDs are so cheap as to be practically free, if the union is feeling a bit short this time of year.
