Yes, yes. The fact is that here in the U.S. I can be fired for being a member of the Democratic party if the employer so chooses. Of course the laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But my recourse is mostly in the courts, after I am fired, and mostly the argument in course is some variation of a breach of contract claim. This is what is called at-will employment. Gender, ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination is illegal in the U.S., of course, but again all of my remedies are after the fact, after I am fired.

I wonder why Pat Paulsen never ran for the Presidency of France? Certainly, he was more amusing than Chirac.... And possibly he was even more French than Chirac. I am sure we could have overcome that citizenship thing somehow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <../attachments/20060330/0dd16d92/attachment.htm>
