My letter to MAC

To whom it may concern,

I writing to ask you to please reconsider your decision to establish a two-light system on the taxi's at your airport. I recently left a job as an electrician because I found out I am afraid of heights and a portion of that job required me to work on ladders. I did not ask them to make special arrangements to accommodate me. I did not expect to be treated any differently than any other co-worker who had to work on the ladders. If it were against my beliefs to eat meat, I wouldn't get a job as office worker at meat packing company. I would find a different office to work at.

Why is it, so many of us American's think we are entitled to this and that and then sue or force others to accommodate our own special needs.
