That's true, though I think that for the most part, our system has helped keep us out of "unjust wars."

You and I might not completely agree on this point, but it matters little. I think this woman shouldn't have been fired simply because she sent an email on company time, unless there are other circumstances we don't know about (which is possible).

It's just that I can imagine what the responses would be in here, if this were a story about someone being fired for sending an email to, say, Martin Sheen telling him off.

There is a disturbing double-standard in the minds of too many FReepers. We need to keep our eyes on the ball.

The article didn't say she used company time and resources. In fact, it stated she received the message in her personal email. What got her into hot water was the fact that her reply included her company name, which implied that she was speaking for the company.
