Some of the constant negativity is draining on this forum.

I snipped all but what I wanted to address.
That particular aspect is sad but true, and also is something that is very demeaning in the "business world".
If an employer is employing someone who is brain injured, and knowingly puts them in that situation the are putting them in harms way. Period.
My attorney's wife is a business lawyer, and I have emailed that to him and her for their input to get some perspective - because I believe that is grounds for harrassment, in the least. There is more than enough literature on the detriment of alcohol and the brain injured available to show that the risks abound.
I can't see any employer in this day and age really wishing to bring on anymore risks than are already around in this modern era of our litigious society.
Sorry for the side trip on the thread.
