OK. I understand that some people are allergic to peanuts ... but does that mean all life has to change because of it?
I'm getting sick of this "least common denominator" pandering ...
LI woman sues over in-flight peanutsBY ZACHARY R. DOWDY |

Tehmina Haque, an East Setauket ophthalmologist, boarded American Airlines Flight 133 with more than the usual flying jitters last April when she walked onto the plane with her 4-year-old son, Ryahn, who is allergic to a common flight-time snack: peanuts.
Haque claims in a lawsuit that she was assured several times -- from the day she booked the flight in February to the moment she walked through the terminal gate at John F. Kennedy Airport -- that peanuts would not be served. But, she said, flight attendants changed the plan without notice.
They served peanuts anyway during the April 18 flight from New York to Los Angeles, she said, and badgered her about her request, saying to honor it would discriminate against other passengers.
FULL STORY Fuck this.
I'm taking peanuts on EVERY FLIGHT I go on from now on.
