Hi John! I remember some years back chancing to meet a nigger on the street who greeted me with "Hey peckerwood". I didn't know him so I replied with "All right" and let it go at that. If I had known him I would have said "Hey nigger". That said, in an employment situation only the head boss enjoys free speech. The amendment enjoins the government from interfering with the political speech of it's citizens, but not private employers or other authority figures. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
