What happened to personal freedoms, and why do some people
only complain about a few, while they watched others be taken as they stood by
and “dealt with it” as a nation? People are going “crazy” over the Supreme
Court ruling against Birth Control provisions by companies who chose our
healthcare for us in this country. I am in NO WAY for the ruling, but it is the
same way it is legal for a company to fire an employee who smokes cigarettes
now.
Why no uproar about that one when it started the "slippery slope"? Why no uproar 30 years ago when drug testing became the normal practice among companies? It is a “racket” where companies spend in the neighborhood of Twenty Billion Dollars a year to perform these tests, and it has only been shown to recoup a few million dollars at best. Do they care? No. Why? Because your company has investments in these same testing companies.
Studies have shown that by the time a person needs to be tested for suspicion; the signs have started and been in place for some time. No shows, lateness etc… However, all of us as employees need to pay for the mistakes and decisions of a few. The mistakes of the abuser need to regulate my life. The “perceived ills” of a “woman who may ABUSE birth control” (whatever that means) also should be regulated in this country?
Isn’t it my right to smoke? If it is legal can I not participate? Isn’t sex legal in this nation? Is it a company’s right to tell either of those groups what to do or not do with their personal body? If it is legal can you persecute me for it just to make YOUR morals feel better? Why is a company allowed to take a life insurance policy out on me with themselves as beneficiaries?
Why must a man who shows his face on TV in Washington State showing a momentous occasion be fired for partaking in a currently LEGAL activity?
When is the revolt against this garbage we allow going to begin? Voters, employees and customers all have one thing in common: They vote with their feet. If you do not like a company you quit, if you do not like a product you do not buy a product, if you do not like a political stance you move your feet to the other side. I am starting to wonder when we the people are going to start banding together in the name of good for all of us and not hatred for all the other guy has and does. When is it going to be time to take back our healthcare, our personal decisions and our freedom?
Corporations are not people.

No Corporation has the right to tell any of us what to or
not to do as long as we aren't committing armed robbery against them.
