A Reasonable Person
I enjoyed our annual Sexual Harassment training today. Sexual Harassment is measured against a reasonable person’s standards. Murky, subjective and kind of interesting. I asked the lawyer if a reasonable person in Grand Rapids, Michigan is the same as a reasonable person in San Francisco, California.
The lawyer indicated that there is basically a national reasonable person, but to me (a Grand Rapids reasonable person), I would certainly have different cultural influences and tolerances than those from other parts of the country.

Hmm, that is strange, I would like to meet this official national reasonable person sometime. I would have some questions for him since my boss at work harasses me all the time… just kidding, he is cool.
