Mr. Got's article

[Guest guest]

I want to thank Mr. Got for presenting how a skeptical defense attorney

might approach a toxic mold case. It helps me prepare to face the skeptics

during my own legal initiatives in the way that I will know what nonsense to

expect from the " other side. " Mr. Got's strategy reminds me of similar

arguments made by the Church when it was confronted by the fact that the

World was Round, not Flat. It reminds me of the arguments the Church made

against Joan of Arc to justify its political existence. It reminds me that

even today there are people who sign up for the World is Flat society

despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I must remember that in America, people are free to believe what they want

despite the facts, and that ultimately we leave it to the law and judges in

this country now to resolve our " differences " and make " justice " . I must

remember that as a toxic mold survivor I will continue to be victimized,

stigmatized and penalized by other people's ignorance. It doesn't mean I am

wrong. It doesn't mean that toxic mold hasn't made me ill and that toxic

mold poisoning isn't real. It just means that people like Mr. Got prefer to

stay ignorant and feel safer living with their eyes and minds closed to new

information and realities. It means that people like Mr. Got want to " not

deal " with it all and prefer to deny that toxic mold doesn't exist and

wrecks lives. After all, why should something so unseen and soo tiny rock

so many people's worlds and ruin their lives. It must be mass hysteria or

some other physical thing from the past. Toxic mold is too scary thing for

Mr. Got to understand and too big and threatening an issue for him to deal

with. Therefore he must defend against it and any information that may point

to it being a reality. Unfortunately, there is an individual process to

change and everyone processes differently. Mr. Got is not able to accept

new information quickly enough to move from a defensive position into action

or forward into preventative thinking. He is too busy thinking about " not

dealing with it " . With people like Mr. Got, " time " or " actual experience "

or will be the only thing that will move him from his defensive posture.

That's ok for him because " time and tide wait for no person " and ultimately

we are the ones who will be remembered for pioneering and speaking up.

With toxic mold, I intend not to waste my time on the Mr. Gots of the world

because " time " will take care of them. I prefer to spend my energy on

helping those who need help and finding ways to prevent toxic mold from

claiming more victims. Ultimately, there can be no defense for ignorance

unless we allow " ignoramuses " to get away with being ignorant. I intend to

demonstrate and prove that " ignorant " people " like and prefer " to " ignore "

the facts right under their noses and intentionally cause other people harm

and pain. They need to be made to pay restitution to those who have been

victimized by their preference of " ignorance " in the face of the reality.

All defense can do is tell us " that it was our own fault " and we should have

to pay for it. Mr. Got is entitled to his ignorant opinion about how " flat

the world is " . However, the courts have mostly decided the issue of " How

ignorant is that??? " by the number of prevailing toxic mold judgments in

favor of the plaintiffs.

Sincerely,

Light in Truth and Truth In Action!
