| Inviting a lawsuit
"My first reaction is, it's a disaster. My second reaction is, they're inviting a lawsuit," said Arthur Firstenberg, a leading opponent of the proposal. Well, they can sue all they want, but that means that they would have to prove in a court of law that "electromagnetic pollution" (as they call it) actually does make them sick. If they can't prove it, they can't claim discrimination against it.
And even if they prove that it is an allergy of sorts (really stretching here, of course), that doesn't mean that the city council can't put wireless Internet access in libraries and other public buildings. The library by me has a nice butterfly garden right next to the parking lot. However, all of those flowers could wreck havoc with the allergies of some people. So is the library unfairly restricting access to people with plant/flower allergies by having those plants nearby?
