More: Shutebury's effort to become fragrance-free began two years ago. The town also has fragrance-free hours at a local library when patrons are not allowed to wear fragrances and the laser printer is turned off.
Ziporah Hildebrandt, chairwoman of the town's ADA Committee, says a fragrance-free environment is a civil rights issue. She says she herself can't go to the meeting, because she has the disorder and the school building has odors that bother her.
``No one who wants to go should be unable to attend, for whatever reason,'' Hildebrandt said.

>>One section of the room will be reserved for people who never use perfumes or scented deodorants, detergents or other products...
There's a joke about the French in there somewhere...

A big bottle of perfume accidently spilled on the carpet will solve this problem.

Everyone attending meetings will be required to strip naked and shower, using lye soap prior to entering the meeting hall. If this doesn't work, the meeting place will be relocatd to the local lake where everyone will be forced to strip naked prior to the start of the meeting. Passing gas or belching will not be allowed.

People used to laugh when I told them that after they ban smoking they'll be banning perfume.
Not so funny anymore.

Please tell me this is a joke! I think its really sad that people are so desperate to find something to be offended about, they come up with stuff like this. I am alergic to shellfish, that doesn't make me whine when I go to a seafood restaurant that nobody else can eat shellfish. Geeeez these people need to get a grip!

She has a disorder all right, but not the one she's talking about.

Libraries were long-ago overtaken by the libs, along with most of our once-great institutions. Like academia,PBS,NPR and the alphabet networks, they will eventually be starved into oblivion...due to their own inability to serve the public.
The good news is that books and learning will survive!

What about people who simply forget to shower for days at a time, never brush their teeth, and wear their clothes until they stand by themselves. Great SCOTT!! Liberal Massachussetts DISCRIMINATES AGAINST THE HOMELESS! Imagine that!
Massachussetts, along with California, needs to just secede. Trust me-they won't be missed, and it'll stack the electoral vote in the right direction. LOL!
