This company fires employees for engaging in legal activities on their own time. Do you actually agree with that?

As a matter of fact, yes, I do. And it’s not because Scott threw money Romney’s way rather than Obama’s. It’s because private companies, less and less perhaps, have or at least should have the right to hire & fire whom they choose. And, by the way, what’s the definition of “legal activities” these days? Right now, pedophilia’s one or two law suits shy of “legal.” And, believe me, as a 3-pack-a-dayer, I’m not equating pedophilia with smoking.

It seems to me that THE COURTS, certain legislative bodies, and, oh yeah, our chief executive are the problem, not the whims of private corporations.

I also agree with it - but will not give them my business because I personally do not think it is the business of any business what I do on my own time as long as I am not breaking the law.

My problem with them is they support forcing other businesses to have similar policies and support legislative moves to keep me from allowing my employees to smoke while working. I don’t care what their employee policies are - I only care they are trying to dictate my employee policies.
