California is an "At WIll" State. I can fire someone if I dislike as

And yet it gets accused of being so lefty. That's what I get for
engaging in stereotypes, I guess.


Wait till the fired employee takes John to the Labor Board.

Then you will see just how far left California really is.

Oregon is "right to work", too. But it's "right to work unless
discrimination is going on" -- and there's a whole lot of different ways
that a lawyer can find discrimination in the simple act of letting an
incompetent boob go.

You really know you're in deep doo-doo when you're contemplating letting
someone go and all of a sudden they get diagnosed with stress, or hurt
their back, or you're anonymously turned in to OSHA for things that even
the OSHA inspectors think are piddly.

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr
