- And must we have a law to prevent each and every one of these incidents of
- descrimination? As I pointed out before, Smokers have been fired for
- smoking on their own time, at home, in their car, etc. If employers can
- get away with that (some have, some haven't), can Hormel firing vegetarians
- be far behind?
-
- I repeat, can't we just have one law that forbids discriminating against
- anything other than appropriate job qualifications? I mean some companies
- still get away with forbidding employees to have mustaches! Do we also
- need a law to stop that? Where oh where does it end?
