Think of something that would cripple your ability to do you job, then imagine the government foisting that upon you and closing your lab.

I innovate, there is nothing in this world that can stop me from doing this. BTW, probably you may be using some electronic device in which either my innovation or my solutions were used since 2001 :)

So, I do not care who regulates what. I make my money at the end of the day with my brains. I found America amazing. If you have brains and a solid motivation nothing can stop you.

I have come to this country in June of 2005. It has been around three months. I started my job as a Senior Scientist and now in three months I am the Lead Scientist for a group of 40 bright engineers/scientists(13 Indian, 15 Chinese, 5 Russians, 4 European and 3 American). All the time, products and innovations rapidly change in the industry I work (nanometer VLSI technology aka nanotechnology). But that does not stop us. We learn to transform and re-innovate.

That is how we learn to transform based on the circumstances. If it were not for this, companies like Intel and AMD would have bitten dust by now. Oh, btw, I work in one of these two companies' R&D labs :)

Regarding the smoker I fired, yes she is a big time slacker. I gave her a lot of chances however she failed to innovate. Instead of taking a dozen smoking breaks and then calling in sick because she suffers from smoking related complications, she should have quit smoking and should have contributed better.

Your selfishness is showing again, and also your obvious bigotry about people that use tobacco products. About the only thing regarding your posts that can be excused is your failure to grasp idiomatic American English.

When a business loses 70% of it's customer base due to the selfishness of those such as yourself who insist on using government to meet your needs, there is nothing to "innovate" to get that base back.

Since you are a "scientist" and work for someone else, you have no concept of what it is like to be an entrepeneur and pour your life into operating a business, therefore there is no expectation of you understanding just what these people are going through. Having worked with business owners throughout this country trying to fight these bans, I do know what they are going through - I have seen their bottom lines.

You should be proud of yourself for firing the slacker lab assistant - you should hang your head in shame over your contribution to the job losses of many people who are not slackers, but are out of work because of the selfishness of you and your kind.
