What you do does not have any relevance on whether those ladies deserve to be belittled by you.

Anyway, no need to respond back on this (unless you really need to). I'm headed to Goodwood in the AM and I have some Jag lightweight notes to gather up.

"...I feel the need..."

When humor is lost, so is civilization. Read what I last posted again and think about it next time you munch on some grapes.

BTW, there are many jobs which require the type of protocol you believe is so onerous. In agriculture, it would include folks working at a variety of stations in a packinghouse running conveyor operations, forklift strapping, etc. Same thing in food processing, widget-making, etc. where folks simply can't leave their positions without asking first. Men and women in Bowling Green (or any such other production line) can't just get up and "go." Obviously (and thankfully), air traffic controllers are expected to sit tight until relieved. I find nothing significant about the fact that the folks you feign concern for are women. It is simply the nature of the work. Nor does it matter whether they are men, women or transvestites...Title VII's been around a few years. Hell, I can't just get up and leave in the middle of a trial without asking the freeking judge. The most employee-friendly laws in the country (California's) only require rest breaks of ten minutes every two hours under each and every one of the Industrial Wage Commissions various Orders (ie., for every industry).

Further, objective standards of performance exist in every industry...unions, of course, would prefer to have everyone be able to keep and maintain their jobs regardless of how lousey their performance, which is exactly why so many unionized operations end up failing due to lower production/higher per unit costs.

Your pedestal has a broken leg.

Have fun in Goodwood...try to smile.
