I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall (in The Friends of Voltaire)
Live free or die
… extremism in the defense of liberty is good
Hal W. Snarr
At-will employment
• D of I ─ Individuals are born free, with equal rights, including the right to freely associate with others
• neither slavery nor involuntary servitude…shall exist within the United
States… ─ (92 years later)13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
• May I not refuse to trade with any one? … May I not dismiss my domestic servant ?… And if my domestic, why not my farm-hand, or mechanic, or teamster? ─ Payne v. Western & Atlantic Railroad (SCT 1884)
• AWE is legal presumption that workers can be fired “at will” at any time for any reason
• Employers purchase Q from employees with W Employees purchase W from employers with Q
• Don’t need government punishment because the Free market does it better …
• Firing employees over Facebook postings?
