Noeson in the news again

[neadods]

Back in 2005, I wrote about a man named Neil T. NoesonMr. Noeson is a pharmacist, but he is also a Man of Faith, and he refuses to violate that faith by dirtying his hands (or any clients) with anything involving birth control. He wrote a letter to that effect which never made it into the hands of his supervisors at the "On the Go" pharmacy within

Unbelievable.

Just ... talk about giving religion a bad name.

[suricattus]

the only religion that guy follows is the Church of Me and My Opinion. Which, sadly, is also the church our non-esteemed Commander in Chimp beongs to...

I am not evil. I just hang around with it too much.

If I name a really stupid character (who dies because of said stupidity) Noeson, and let him know about it, and he sues, you think my sales would go up?

Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth. I just suddenly need to write about a pharmacist who refuses birth control and then gets eaten by a werewolf.

Mine's going to club baby seals. Or selkies, anyway....

My ire outran my editing abilities; that and other problems are now fixed.

Although - have to admit, I snicked when I saw it!

He's the kind I'd REALLY like to practice retroactive-abortion ON...

Jesus Christ. *sputters for a while*

I mean, I'm Catholic, so I'm sympathetic to pharmacists who have problems selling birth control. But that just means you turn the customer over to a colleague, not make everyone's life that little more difficult. Especially his co-workers, God.

I actually can't believe his employers were willing to make so many concessions, honestly.

I'm nore than a little horrified that he did. It's one thing to say "you don't have to do X if you don't want to" (although that alone bothers me, considering how many other people have to swallow their convictions to stay employed; funny how women's sexuality is the only situation where people get to split hairs).

But this guy was really making it obvious, with the separate basket and the offers to screen clients, that Noeson was really somehow right to be doing what he was doing.

Everyone involved is lucky that I'm not "AR", because I would not just
have sued both him *&* Wal-Mart - I'd've jumped the counter & choked
the living $hit out of him. And I know this because it's what I planned
on doing when we had an equipment failure over a week ago, and I needed
Plan B (I have a spare one if anyone needs it - I got it on purpose).

That reminds me, mine's about to/just has expired. I need to check the date and order more off drugstore.com.
