Yes anonymous, i agree. You should get exactly what you want, when you want it. It's only fair, right? If we can just get the rest of the world to be hobbyless too. You may consider my perspective nutty, but I have friends too, many of whom's entire life is work and social events. Bless their hearts, they can't understand why someone wants more out of life than watching tv and eating or drinking with friends. Why isn't everyone satisfied with typing reports and watching HBO? All kidding aside, I hope neither you or I ever have to evacuate our homes. If I do, you won't hear me with a megaphone rallying people to crush a legitimate artform, and you won't hear me being happy about it. Just accepting the fact that its OK for other people to do things that don't float my boat. If this man had enough chemicals to bury the neighbors, I'd be singing a different tune. But he didn't, so... drum roll... no harm done. period!
Yes sympathy, I can safely say that yes, me being able to spend any amount of time in my own home is more important than anyone else's "life long dreams". His dreams should not force me out of my home, and for you to think that they should is just nutty.
Maybe his safety precautions saved your life. What do you know?
